There was a very special pitching performance in yesterday's Mariners-Orioles game that no doubt will be remembered for years by anyone that watched the artistry unfold in real time.
I'm talking of course about Islanders 2015 first rounder Mathew Barzal throwing out the first pitch as part of a celebration of the Seattle Thunderbirds who were drafted into the NHL this summer.
The Thunderbirds site has a gallery and UN-EMBEDDABLE VIDEO (c'mon, guys) of Barzal, Thunderbirds coach Steve Konowalchuk and Rangers pick Ryan Gropp getting a tour of Safeco Field, prepping for the pitch and taking the field before the game.
