Major League Baseball teams have interesting promotional days, like when the Washington Nationals had Star Wars day and dressed up their mascots to look even more terrifying than usual.
Grumpy Cat threw out the first pitch at the Diamondbacks game... but not really because it’s a cat
This time, the Arizona Diamondbacks have stepped up to the plate with a very weirdly themed game day: GRUMPY CAT MONDAY.
Tomorrow: Grumpy Cat throws out the first pitch at the @Dbacks game. Exclusive tickets here: http://t.co/Dmlt5Mzgvg pic.twitter.com/EV0CJzYc7X
— Grumpy Cat (@RealGrumpyCat) September 7, 2015 Yes, supposedly they scheduled the Grumpy Cat to throw out the first pitch because she’s an Arizona native. At first, we weren’t so sure how that would work out with the lack of opposable thumbs and all... (hint: it didn’t work out).
An Arizona native, @RealGrumpyCat is at Chase Field to "throw" out today's ceremonial first pitch. pic.twitter.com/hcSwYgWyqp
— Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) September 7, 2015 Grumpy Cat looked like she had an amazing time. She made it into the clubhouse.
It's a grumpy Monday with @RealGrumpyCat. pic.twitter.com/z5RFblbzCo

— Grumpy Cat (@RealGrumpyCat) August 24, 2015 Grumpy Cat “threw” out the first pitch. It was really someone holding the ball up to her paw, and then another person quickly taking the ball and throwing it. This confirms that it still holds true that cats cannot throw baseballs... yet.
Fan reactions ranged from THIS IS AWESOME...
I just witnessed Grumpy Cat throw out the first pitch! This Labor Day is turning out to be awesome! #GoDbacks
