Pitch perfect — new york

Zhang Qiyue, Chinese consul general in New York, waves to fans at Citi Field on July 25 in Flushing, Queens before throwing the ceremonial first pitch of the game between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets hosted “An Evening of Chinese Culture,” an annual event that featured an on-field award presentation, a gift-giving ceremony with a team official and a video ad campaign displaying information about China throughout the stadium.
