Nicolas got to throw the pitch out at the U of A baseball game yesterday! Chipotle was the sponsor of the game so the PR team asked Nick if he would like to throw the first pitch out at the game. They all know how much Nick loves U of A and baseball. Nick, being the great father, said he wanted his son to get to do it. So Nicolas went out and threw out the first pitch. He not only threw it, he pitched it and pitched a strike. The entire dug out cheered for him as well as the stands. It was great to see. The        U of A special events coordinatior said she's been working there for three years and hadn't ever seen anyone get it over the plate and get a strike. She was very impressed. Nick was beaming! He was such the proud Dad and I think he enjoyed it even more to be able to watch Nicolas do so well and throw a strike than he himself throwing the pitch out. They did allow Nick to stand on the mound with Nicolas when he threw the pitch.
All in all in was a great day and what an experience for Nicolas. I'll add more pictures soon. I'll get some from the media photographers that were there as well as the special events coordinator. Great day that Nicolas will not forget!
