The Los Angeles Dodgers honoured the late basketball player Kobe Bryant marking the significance of his jersey number 8.

Kobe Bryant's legacy lives on and was honored by his wife, Vanessa Bryant, with their daughters Natalia, Bianka, and Capri at the Los Angeles Dodgers bobblehead night.

But the evening’s most heartwarming moment came when Kobe Bryant’s 8-year-old daughter, Bianka Bryant, stepped onto the mound to throw the ceremonial first pitch. The tribute took place on 8/8, a date chosen to honor the No. 8 jersey Kobe Bryant wore during the first decade of his NBA career.
