Hester also led 41,388 fans in the traditional singing of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch.
“Chicago fans are the greatest fans I have ever been around,” said Hester, who became the first player to return the opening kickoff for a touchdown in a Super Bowl.
“If I could tell them to their face, they’re probably the spark of our life and the momentum that keeps us going.”
Bears coach Lovie Smith was on the field wearing a Cubs jersey as Hester tossed the ceremonial pitch, which was caught by Ryan Theriot.
“It was an honor for them to call me and ask me to throw out the first pitch,” Hester said.
