Watch the Modern Baseball Man Throw the First Baseball at a Baseball Game

Nothing more American than emo and professional baseball.

Few things are more patriotic than baseball, the state of Florida, and emo music. Which is why last night proved to be a perfect storm of pure America, when Ian Farmer of Modern Baseball threw the ceremonial first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays game. Farmer really puts the "baseball" in "Modern Baseball," and throws the baseball perfectly into the glove of the Rays' catcher. Hopefully this will start a trend, and maybe in the future we'll get to see Mike Kinsella be the backup QB of a future game, or Ned Russin from Title Fight make his UFC debut. Until then, you can watch the pitch below.
