VIDEO: Simone Biles Threw Out The First Pitch At Astros Game Before Getting Odd On-Field Request From Player, And You Won’t Believe How It Went
United States gymnast Simone Biles threw the first pitch before the Houston Astros played the Kansas City Royals on Friday night and was immediately pulled aside for a surprising request.
While the baseball players typically dish out the autographs during games, first baseman Jon Singleton found himself on the other end after Biles threw the ball to him ahead of the game.
The Olympic star did a great job of throwing the pitch; there will be plenty of athletes and celebrities who will see it and sulk, given the number of crappy pitches we’ve seen over the years. She was then approached by Singleton, who somehow had his pen ready as he requested an autograph.
Talk about being prepared…
Biles readily obliged before taking a photo with the first baseman and the Astros mascot. She also took a photo with manager Joe Espada and his daughter Viviana.
