Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many interests. After bidding farewell to basketball many years back, he’s now seen on live television as a host and taking up his avatar of DJ Diesel in various concerts all around the world. Turns out the four-time NBA Champion is also a fan of the thrill and ferociousness of the game of baseball as fans saw him asking for a friend on his social media handle.

Shaquille O’Neal is quite the definition of an evergreen man. He’s one of the most versatile sporting personalities. Apart from being a successful NBA player, he’s also known for his impeccable business acumen. Recently it came to be known that he’s also a fan of the game of baseball.

Shaq asks a serious question

Shaquille O’Neal a long time back was invited to a game of the Chicago White Sox. They gave him the honor of throwing a first pitch by Michael Jordan’s $1.7 billion team. Shaq threw the pitch wider than he was supposed to, but no one seemed to mind, as no one had the heart to tell the gentle giant about the matter.

Seems like Shaquille O’Neal met with his baseball craze. He uploaded a picture on his social media channel where he’s standing on the baseball pitch.
