PHILADELPHIA, PA Monday Jun.19.2006 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- The former team of Tug McGraw invited his son, Tim McGraw, to throw out the first pitch at the Philadelphia Phillies- New York Mets game Thursday night at Veteran Stadium in Philadelphia.

Tim delivered a slightly wide pitch...but his appearance was a $37,374 home run for the Tug McGraw Foundation.

Tim came in from right field sporting the No. 45 uniform like his father had done 247 times at Veterans Stadium with the Phillies, reports Phillies.com.

Phillies players wore bracelets with the number 45 and the initials YGB for "Ya Gotta Believe." The bracelets, stitched with baseball seams, will be sold to benefit the foundation.

Phillies Charities presented McGraw with a check for $37,374 to benefit the Tug McGraw Foundation. The foundation supports patients who have been diagnosed with brain cancer so that they can improve their quality of life.
