Don't bounce it and throw it from the mound, not in front of the mound.

Throw it with your left hand across home plate, and you may get a job offer!

Winner.

Just get it there on the fly sort of near the strike zone. That alone makes you better than half of our bullpen.

May I ask why you are so fortunate?

 

Go Rookie of the Year on them and nail a 98 mile per hour bullet in the strike zone and wait for your contract offer. In the event that you don't have the ability to throw 98 MPH, do what everyone else is saying.

Thanx for the warning. I'll be sure to get there early and bring my camera !! :wink:

[Old Style]

Don't eff it up.

Our local minor league team had a gulf war vet throwing out the first pitch at Cub Scout night a couple years ago along with some other people. The other people all threw the usual lollipops from in front of the mound. The Vet it turns out had pitched in college and the catcher was really surprised when he threw an 85 mph fastball down the middle.

Just pretend you threw out your arm and then start yelling "I'm Mark Prior!" over and over again

Plus I get two $85 tickets. I have looked at it as paying $330. An amount I am more than happy with.

You realize you have to throw a strike now, or you'll never live it down. And there will probably be pictures to preserve the moment.

 

No pressure. ;)

 

Seriously, though, how awesome is that? Good luck!

Weather doesn't look to positive tomorrow...hopefully you get to do it. Will they reschedule if the game gets rained out?

I have it on good authority that the pitch was just thrown, and it was high and outside.
