A life-sized baby T-Rex ‘threw’ out the first pitch at Petco Park yesterday for the San Diego Padres vs. Kansas City Royals… It’s pretty cool.

A life-sized baby T-Rex ‘threw’ out the first pitch at Petco Park yesterday for the San Diego Padres vs. Kansas City Royals…

Getting a celebrity or performer to throw out the ceremonial ‘first pitch’ is a big thing to do in Major League Baseball games, but no one could have guessed what the promoters had in store for yesterdays match-up between the San Diego Padres and the Kanas City Royals…

Instead of some regular B-list celebrity or politician that no one cares about, the Padres had a performer from the arena show Walking with Dinosaurs ‘throw’ the first pitch while wearing a baby T-Rex costume. It was actually a pretty decent shot…

Here’s a look at the ‘Cirque du Soleil First Pitch’ that the commentators talk about at the end of the video. This first pitch first occurred back in 2011 when the Padres took on the Royals at Petco Park.
