McKayla Maroney Tumbles Into First Pitch
While in Chicago, Illinois for the Secret Classic, McKayla Maroney threw the first pitch at a Chicago White Sox game. 

It started out looking like a normal pitch but then she broke out a cartwheel followed by a front handspring stepout, threw the ball, then saluted. Watch the video from Maroney's instagram below.

Are you impressed? Baseball fans sure were!




Former South Korean rythmic gymnast threw out a similar gymnast-style first pitch last year at a Korean baseball game. Shin Soo-ji did an illusion right into her pitch. Watch it on YouTube here.
