No trickery here, just a perfect strike from @Eagles Super Bowl champion head coach, Doug Pederson! pic.twitter.com/SjECMt2adW
Head coach Doug Pederson admitted to reporters after throwing out the first pitch at the Phillies' home opener on Thursday that he was the "most nervous he felt in a sporting event in a long time."
He was quickly reminded of the Super Bowl, which drew a chuckle out of Pederson as he said that he was pretty nervous for that as well.
Pederson, team president Don Smolenski, and Howie Roseman were on the field hoisting up the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the fans at Citizens Bank Park to witness.
