Update: RoboCop really threw out the first pitch!

Bounced it, though. DO NOT HURT US FOR MENTIONING YOU BOUNCED IT, ROBOCOP.

Original post:

Happy RoboCop Day everyone! What, you forgot that it was RoboCop Day? No matter, the Detroit Tigers didn’t and that’s what’s important, because the 1980s favorite cyborg crime-fighter is throwing out the first pitch at Tuesday night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

RoboCop is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at Comerica Park on Tuesday evening as the Tigers host the Toronto Blue Jays. RoboCop’s motorcycle is to be on display at the stadium and the first 10,000 fans will get a RoboCop cheer card after getting inside.

A RoboCop cheer card you say? That is a wonderful idea.
