The New York Mets invited the Hawk Tuah Girls, Hailey Welchto throw out the first pitch, and many fans weren’t happy with the decision. Welch, who became known for her enthusiastic descriptions of her bedroom move, was practically everywhere for a week or two. However, the Mets may not have considered how some of their audience would receive her cameo.

Why are Mets fans mad at Hawk Tuah Girl?

Some Mets fans aren’t thrilled that Hawk Tuah Girl was invited to throw out the first pitch in Thursday’s game because of her fame. She went viral after giving an interview on YouTube channel Tim & Dee TV. When asked what move in the bedroom drives a guy crazy, she replied, “Oh, you gotta do Hawk Tuah, spit on that thing. You hear me?”

The fact that an attractive young woman behaved in a vulgar manner was also a first on the Internet. Soon the world was flooded with memes revolving around Welch’s imitation of spitting on male genitalia.

However, we doubt many angry fans cared enough to listen to why she was there. On X, Welch responded to the vitriol by saying:

“I guess part of the baseball community wasn’t very happy to see me yesterday ?

The main reason I went to the game was to raise awareness and donate to America’s Vet Dogs, an organization that matches dogs with war veterans to give them permanent homes.

Support me and donate to this amazing charity. I miss you already, buddy ?“

While some may disagree with how she became so well known, Welch’s contributions to charities such as the American organization VetDogs show that her heart is in the right place.

While some fans expressed their disapproval, Hailey Welch’s first pitch at the Mets game serves as a reminder that public figures often have complex stories and histories that go beyond a single viral moment.
