John Groce threw out the first pitch at the Cubs game on Sunday, as it as Illini Day at Wrigley Field.

He also stepped up and sang ‘Take Me Out To The Ballgame':

My favorite part? John Groce had his son -- the son made famous by this incredible photo after the Illini’s win over Indiana last season -- with him in the press box to sing. Those are the kind of moments sons never forget.
