Throwing the ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball game is no easy task. Remember that awful first pitch 50 Cent threw that was so bad everyone was talking about it? He could probably use some lessons from this kid.

As a Make-A-Wish kid, 8-year-old Caleb Teisl's wish was to throw the first pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers. Over the weekend he got his chance, and he really knocked this one out of the park. He ran up to the pitcher's mound, barely took a moment to prepare, and--as if he does this every day--lobbed it right over home plate.

If I were the betting type, I'd bet that would have been a strike.

We apologize, but the video has currently been removed from YouTube.
