MLB first pitches can be hit and miss, but we dare you to find one as wholesome this season as U.S. women’s national team forward Mallory Swanson throwing out a first pitch to her husband, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson.
Indeed, the Swansons took part in this awesome first pitch ahead of Chicago’s home tilt against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night.
Mallory Swanson, who also plays for the NWSL’s Chicago Red Stars, pitched the ball right to Dansby Swanson, and it turned out to be as good of a first pitch as you could hope for. Plus, this is just so sweet.
How often do you get to see a married couple take part in a first pitch like this?

The Swansons are one of the most athletically gifted famous couples around, and it’s awesome to see them get to have a moment like this at Dansby Swanson’s place of work.
We can bet the Cubs will want to bring back Mallory Swanson next season for another first pitch after this successful attempt.
