Mike Glennon estimated it's been a decade since he last played baseball, and he only recently picked up a mitt to make sure he didn't throw an embarrassing ceremonial first pitch before Friday's Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
Whatever preparations Glennon did paid off, even if he did lob his throw a little high to Cubs reliever Justin Grimm. But at least the Bears quarterback didn't bounce it.
Glennon's trip to a festive Wrigley Field this week to throw out the first pitch and sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch was part of the 27-year-old's ongoing introduction to Chicago.
