The former White Stripes frontman attended the Philadelphia Phillies versus the Detroit Tigers’ game at the weekend which his team, the Tigers, won.
White took to Instagram to share his feat and pictures of himself at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
His love for the game has been well documented over the years, with the White Stripes man most recently attending Cubs vs Dodgers baseball game alongside Bill Murray, wearing a jersey gifted to him by Eddie Vedder in Japan earlier this year.
In 2022, he performed the US national anthem before a Detroit Tigers’ baseball game against the Chicago White Sox.
He also previously threw the ceremonial first pitch at a Detroit Tigers baseball match at Tigers’ Comerica Park and he invested in a baseball bat company.

Elsewhere, White once donated $170,000 (£127,997) to help restore a Detroit baseball park he used to play in, he took part in a celebrity baseball match at the University of North Alabama and appeared on a set of Topps baseball cards.
In the past, he revealed that one of his pre-stage rituals before he performs was working himself “up into a frenzy” backstage “with a baseball bat breaking things”. He also once released a song at a Detroit Tigers baseball game.
Meanwhile, White recently became the “reluctant owner of a cellular telephone” for the first time in his life on his 50th birthday.
The former White Stripes frontman has been a longtime advocate of mobile phones being banned from his gigs and has proudly stated in the past that he has never owned one himself, saying that the public’s “addiction” to them is driven by “competition, voyeurism and jealousy”.
