Throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game isn’t an easy task for any public figure, as evidenced by the number of memorable mishaps over the years.
But three-time Olympic medalist Suni Lee chose to up the degree of difficulty for her first pitch at the Twins game on Friday evening.
Lee, the individual all-around champion at last summer’s Tokyo Games, brought her own personal flair to her appearance at Target Field ahead of a game against the Blue Jays. In an impressive display of athleticism and artistry, the star gymnast and St. Paul native opted to flip off the mound before delivering the ball to the plate.
