Cotto vs Pacquiao Filipino Heritage Night San Diego Padres - For the second time this season, Pacquiao made a ceremonial pitch during the game between San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks, which organizers dubbed as “Filipino Heritage Night" at the PETCO Park in San Diego.

The event marked the third time Pacquiao did the ceremonial pitch in a Major League game. Just last April before his fight with former world junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, the 30-year-old native of General Santos City also made the first pitch during the match between division rivals San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres.

In 2005, he also threw out the first pitch in the Los Angeles Angels Anaheim-Oakland A’s game at the Angels Stadium.

The light welterweight champion, who was on hand to promote his Nov. 14 fight against Miguel Cotto, posed for pictures with Padres players in the clubhouse and signed autographs. Pacquiao's appearance brought in several thousand of his exuberant fans, who loudly cheered for the fighter as he threw out the first pitch at Petco Park Tuesday night.
