Other than black and purple, Ben McLemore bleeds red, white and navy blue. The Sacramento Kings rookie recently got the experience of a lifetime when the St. Louis Cardinals invited him to throw out the first pitch at Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates
“Been a Cardinals’ fan my whole life,” McLemore said of the opportunity to step onto mound at Busch Stadium. “It was a blessing for me and my family to get to be on the field and me to throw out the first pitch.”
Did he throw a ball or did he throw a strike? Check out how McLemore fared on the mound in the video below.
In addition to throwing out the first pitch, McLemore also got a chance to meet Yadier Molina prior to the game. Being introduced to the Cardinals catcher tipped off what turned into an exciting day of baseball for the Kings shooting guard.
