Baseball is a game of history. In 1909 the Pittsburgh Pirates won the World Series and Ty Cobb was the league’s best player. Agnes McKee was also born, now she’s going to be the oldest person to throw out a first pitch at a San Diego Padres game.
Meet the 105-year-old who will throw out the Padres first pitch
The first pitch is a part of every baseball game, but this one is special.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The 105-year-old is being honored by the organization on Sunday and is grateful for the chance. She’s been practicing her pitches between games of bingo, but is awesomely sassy about the team who invited her.
Honored as she is, McKee didn’t spare the Padres with her harsh assessment of the franchise, saying, “I haven’t been very into the Padres because they don’t ever win any games.”
PADRES BURN!
You’re the best Agnes. Even though you’re tossing underhand we’re 100 percent convinced your first pitch will be infinitely better than 50 Cent’s.
Watch Agnes’ warm up video here, because it’s amazing.
