Video feature: 108 year-old throws first pitch at Mariners game

If you follow the Seattle Mariners by now you likely have heard that 108 year-old Evelyn Jones tossed the ceremonial first pitch to Felix Hernandez at Saturday night’s game. Fans took to their feet and cheered wildly as the woman who was raised on a farm in Eastern Washington tossed out the ball.

We spent some time with the longtime Mariners fan as she celebrated the milestone and the record breaking pitch. She is now the oldest person to toss out a pitch at a Major League Baseball game. Jones enjoyed the experience and left the field beaming with a big smile.
