Mina Kimes Fails to Go Viral With Perfectly Fine First Pitch
Mina Kimes threw out the first pitch at the Seattle Mariners game Friday night and after more than a week of building it went ... pretty dang well. ESPN's most versatile personality actually nailed it and won't be going viral like Steve Aoki or 50 Cent.

That's a perfectly acceptable first pitch, so great job, Mina!
The negative here was that she didn't take the mound like an MLB vet, but she did wear a glove. When was the last time you saw that from a celebrity first pitch-tosser? We're calling it a wash and giving her a thumbs up.
