Sir Paul McCartney has joined the Green Bay Packers family.

The legendary musician was presented with a stock certificate by the Packers before taking the stage at Lambeau Field on Saturday night, according to Kendra Meinert of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. McCartney also received a game ball to commemorate his first time in Green Bay.

"I didn't realize he was left-handed," Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy said. "He threw a pass with his left hand, and (Packers vice president of marketing and fan engagement) Gabrielle Valdez Dow made a perfect catch."

McCartney, 76, performed to a sold-out crowd of nearly 50,000. Murphy said Lambeau Field is believed to be the largest venue on his Freshen Up Tour.
