Throw Me The Heater Agnes

When you think of a professional athlete, you think of an individual that can do amazing things. They can jump and dunk a basketball. They can swing and hit a baseball over 400 feet.  Any, they can run over a defender in an attempt to score the winning touchdown. All of these amazing feats are performed by highly sculpted bodies that every fan wishes they possessed. They are chiseled, defined, and perfectly sculpted to perform when the cameras are on and the lights are shinning the brightest.

Unfortunately, no one decided to tell Agnes McKee that you need an athletic body to perform in the spotlight. Recently, Agnes McKee threw out the first pitch at Petco Park in San Diego California. Now you might be asking yourself, what’s the big deal? Well, Agnes is 105 years-young. That’s right, after countless of hours of practicing her underhand windup, Agnes was able to throw out the first pitch just days after she turned 105 years-old. Surprisingly enough, her throw was even better than individuals a quarter of her age. She had a wicked windup that any softball player could recognize and she even managed to reach catch Rene Rivera behind the plate. This made her the oldest person to ever throw out a ceremonial first pitch. She wore a custom made San Diego Padres jersey. On the back of the jersey Agnes had her last name and the number 105 representing her age.

It was also a good thing that rookie pitcher Odisamer Despaigne was taking notes during Agnes’s ceremonial first pitch because he was able to almost seal his first no hitter of his career. In the eighth inning, with two outs, Odisamer allowed New York MetsNew York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy to double into left center field for the Mets first hit of the game.

What an awesome outing for the youngster. All in all, I guess Odisamer did pretty good too.
