Turner Sports reporter Craig Sager, who has been battling acute myeloid leukemia for two years, threw out the first pitch at Wednesday night's Chicago Cubs-Los Angeles Dodgers game.
Sager, a 34-year Turner veteran known for his bold attire, shed one of his patented white suits for a Cubs jersey for the first pitch of Chicago's Conquer Cancer game.

As if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, Sager serenaded Wrigley Field with his rendition "Take Me Out To The Ball Game."
