Baseball happens to be one of my favorite sports. So I was super excited when I was given the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at the Staten Island Yankee Game. The Staten Island Yankees are the reigning minor league champions. This was my second time throwing out the first pitch, as I had this opportunity last year as Miss Staten Island. And I'm happy to report that my pitch made it to the plate! Even the catcher was impressed that a "beauty queen could throw a ball"! The sweetest moment was when I was walking to my seat, three boys came up to me wanting my autograph because they too were impressed with my pitch. All though the Yankees lost tonight, I had a great time at the ballpark.
