Robin Williams’ Kids & Billy Crystal Honor the Late Actor at the World Series
The family tributes for the late Robin Williams continued this weekend when his three children honored their father by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Game 5 of the World Series in San Francisco.
Zak Williams, the Oscar-winning actor’s eldest son, delivered the first pitch to Robin’s dear friend Billy Crystal to start Sunday night’s game between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals.

Also at the pitcher’s mound were Zak’s two younger siblings, Zelda Williams, 25, and Cody Williams, 23. Each of the comedian’s children donned a Giants jersey with the name “Williams” across the back.
After throwing out the pitch, Zak, 31, raised both arms into the air before embracing Billy on the field while a special tribute for Robin — featuring highlights of his films and photos of his many visits to San Francisco’s AT&T park — played on the scoreboard in the background.
“We are honored to be here in support of the tribute to our father, someone who loved his hometown and especially the Giants,” Robin’s children said in a statement via the team.
“For all of us, it is a tremendous delight and a little surreal to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of a World Series game for our team to our dad’s best friend. We could not think of a better way to celebrate his memory. Let’s go Giants!”
