Seeing Jayson Tatum in another uniform isn't usually a notion Celtics fans want to entertain. Friday night, however, all was still right with the Boston basketball-playing world.

Wearing a St. Louis Cardinals jersey and hat, Tatum threw out of the first pitch for his hometown Cards at Busch Stadium. It was a venue not far from Chaminade Prep, where the former Duke star became a member of USA Today's first-team All-American squad.

Since Jayson Tatum arrived at the ballpark, no one has challenged us to a game of one-on-one. Coincidence? We think not! pic.twitter.com/pp9yxCHvnt
