Not Your Usual First Pitch

It’s an honor to have a celebrity, former player, or government official throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball game. Like we said earlier, it’s a tradition, and it was started in 1910 by President William Howard Taft.

Sometimes, you get very impressive throws, and other times, it’s just terrible. McKayla Maroney’s throw is one of the best as she showcases her acrobatic skills while at it. She threw her first pitch at the White Sox game in August 2014. She landed tens across the board after performing a cartwheel and flipping.
