Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang tossed the ceremonial first pitch before a baseball game in Seoul on Sunday, the latest public appearance by the popular business executive during his short trip filled with many. Huang's pitch marked the start of a Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) game between the home team Doosan Bears and the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul.
