...and he throws like a girl!



The underwhelming volume of applause from the 46,000 fans in Busch Stadium for the 2009 All-Star Game was probably due, in part, to the fact his blooper ball did not even reach the plate. Of course, there were probably a few other reasons for the crowd's reaction - or lack of reaction. If they had let 88-year-old Stan Musial throw out the first pitch (he deserved the honor), he'd have thrown a strike.
