10 Best Ceremonial First Pitches

Ten of the best ceremonial first pitches of all time. Includes a blind kid, a gymnast and an astronaut.

[@ryancooper4475]

thats amazing how the blind kid can throw a strike and so many people can't even get it too the catcher.

[@aaaaaaaaardvark]

Yeah, and he wasn't even looking at the catcher.

[@spiderzgames9262]

It looked like he was looking at the cameraman

[@togle02]

He wasnt looking at anyone. Wow. HE IS BLIND.

Actually not a horrible pitch at all, lets be men about the situation.

@@tomitstube Along with all of Congress, who confirmed and agreed with the intelligence community findings on the nukes. In fact, two bipartisan investigations probed for evidence of that Bush somehow manipulated the findings of the intelligence analysis and said they found none. And Congress voted overwhelmingly for the action. They could have stopped it. But don't let that get in the way of your narrative. Revisionist history is a real problem. Low IQ people do not have the capacity to comprehend the concept of hindsight.

I HATED him when he was president. Several presidents later...I weirdly miss him. How incredibly far we've fallen 😣

Even if you hate George W. Bush. He threw out the greatest ceremonial first pitch of all time. Hands down. Sold out Yankee stadium, right after the 9/11 attacks and threw a strike.

[@tek6423]

Strangely enough, this moment was critical to his re-election. My teen age son, who was very much affected by the September 11 attacks, sat stone faced watching this pitch. After Bush delivered the strike, my boy stood up, looked me in the eye and said “Bush throws strikes”.

[@willmack5909]

I'm surprised that George W. Bush's ceremonial first pitch at Game 3 of the 2001 World Series wasn't number 1, just weeks after the September 11th attacks. Many touching first pitches, but I dare say Bush's pitch ranks just a bit higher than the "zombie" attack.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not a Bush fan but when he grooved that pitch right over the plate I forgot politics for a moment.
