The 12-year receiver for the Arizona Cardinals has been tapped by the Arizona Diamondbacks for the opening night honor
Larry Fitzgerald had a great 2015 NFL season. It culminated with a 75-yard catch and then a 5-yard catch two plays later for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. Now, he gets to throw a ball 60 feet and 6 inches.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have asked Fitz to throw out their ceremonial first pitch on opening night against the Colorado Rockies. The game is at 6:40 p.m. on Monday night April 4th at Chase field in downtown Phoenix.
