Back on May 26th, he was in Oakland to throw out the first pitch before a game and was wearing his A's "Town Business" sweatshirt along with a traditional green and gold A's hat when he appeared on A's Cast. During that broadcast, he described himself as a life-long Bay Area fan. "I like any team that represents the Bay Area," though he did come to training camp wearing an A's hat.

The first pitch that he threw that night was a strike caught by starting pitcher Mason Miller. Harris has also thrown out the first pitch for the San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates in the past, and all of his throws have been in the strike zone.
