Just saw an old man throwing out the game ball in the Astros game. He was in front of the mound. Josh Reddick was catching. It was better than some comedies I've seen, but still fell short of Reddick.

I'm not sure I would try. Would you?

I would throw it from second base! Im a man though.

You just put a smile on my face.

I would in a heartbeat, just not for the Astros.

no sir...

That “old man” was NATURE BOY Rick Flair, Reddick’s wrestling idol. Rick is the reason you hear the WHOOO birds at home and away games.

I absolutely would, for the Astros or Rangers. I bet I could still hit the 80’s, without warming up. It would hurt, but I could pull it off.

Like a boss. An old one but like a Boss.

80’s ain’t too shabby man!

I could whip up a good Charlie Hough and fake em out

I would. I can throw a heck of a change-up. That is, they think it's going to be somewhere around the plate but it isn't.

I could, but they'd want to sign me up and I just don't have time.......

I'd be the guy that slipped throwing the ball and lands face first on the front of the mound.....

I detest baseball. I figure in this twisted world my son will wind up a baseball star because I cant stand it.

I'd see if someone would trade me a beer and hot dog for it and then leave early.

Heck yes I would and I would practice for about a month before that

we must be related

I'd stand on the rubber and throw a breaking ball just to see the oh-sheet look on the catchers face....

Allegedly with those ceremonial first pitches they actually don't use a regulation ball. They use one that's more like those t-ball ones that are softer.

I would have a regulation ball and i would throw a knuckle.

This is a picture of my brother Glenn throwing out the first pitch at a Rangers game a few years back. He was an elite runner and cyclist doing competitions like Boston, Ledville 100, and a few iron mans until some nice lady t boned him on his bicycle while riding to work and then left him for dead.
He’s got a long road to go but I say if you have the opportunity to throw that pitch than do it.

I played growing up (1 yr of college) and now coach my son's 10U team. I threw about 150 pitches last night for batting practice. I would jump at the opportunity and would highly consider throwing my killer knuckle ball in hopes of being the next Charlie Hough!

I'd have to throw it from the rubber and I would pray that I wouldn't bounce it!!
