Though the first pitch is merely ceremonial, it's important to do
it well. If you're a celebrity given this responsibility, you better

are, we'll never let you forget it.
But Jeff Bridges wasn't worried about any of that when he threw
out the first pitch on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Well, by
"threw" we mean "bowled", just like his character in The Big

dog breeders do that all the time with the larger breeds. they want them to stay "locked up" as long as possible to ensure pregnancy. it DOES look like an embarrassing situation/job to have, eh?
