The Japanese Do The "First Pitch" Right....

So I'm irked that YouTube snatched back this video (note: link restored? If so, it's a quick must-see), an interesting example of the Japanese take on the tradition of baseball's "ceremonial first pitch" - in this case, a female gymnast in a baseball uniform performing an odd but intriguing bit of contortion as part of her unique windup.

So we'll go with this one instead, and ask ourselves, why don't girls like these throw our first pitches here in America?
