We've seen some awful first pitches throughout the years (looking at you, 50 Cent), so it's great to see this one coming out of Kansas City. Tom Willis threw out the ceremonial first pitch on Thursday for a game between the Royals and the Minnesota Twins. What made this pitch so great? Tom Willis was born with no arms. That's right, he threw the first pitch with his foot.
According to the announcers at the game, Willis has thrown out the first pitch at 22 ballparks, and all that practice really shows. While he may not have thrown (kicked?) a perfect strike right down the middle, his lob at home plate came close enough to be impressive. Especially given how many celebrities struggle with throwing the ball anywhere near the plate (again, looking at you, 50).
