Brad Walker to Throw First Pitch

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Mon Jun 23, 2003 9:14 pm

Brad Walker will be throwing out the first pitch at the Mariners game on July 9th. With a broken hand, so he is not sure how it is going to go. He doesn't want to throw left handed because then he would throw like a girl :P

Go Mariners :heart:

After watching it on the ESPN sportscenter highlights for the 100th time, Carl could not get the ball to go 3 feet...it just slipped out of his hand as if he didn't even know how to throw a ball. Just another embarassing moment for the 9-time Olympic Gold medalist who, as many of you can recall, also flopped on the national anthem during an NBA game back in the 90's.

We should have asked Pat last week! Pat missed the all-comers meet to go watch... I haven't heard how it went.

Brad did well as he made the catcher. He was not going to be a Carl Lewis. Remember he is a vaulter not a runner!!! :P
