Sports fans were delighted by John Daly throwing wicked heat on a ceremonial first pitch

There are few personalities as unique in pro sports as John Daly’s. The long-time golfing legend has built a persona around his colorful (and surly) demeanor, his straight-shooting attitude, some wonderful outfits, and, of course, having plenty of talent to be a golfer on the PGA Tour.

I’m not a detective by any means, but we might be forgetting one of Daly’s talents he doesn’t get to share too often — his rocket arm on the baseball mound.

Before the Cardinals (-1.5) and Nationals squared off on Wednesday night, Daly was marked down for the ceremonial first pitch. He did not disappoint:

Man, that’s a live arm. Right to the catcher’s glove and a smooth delivery as can be. And in flip-flops! I mean, no hyperbole, that’s honestly one of the better first pitches I’ve personally ever seen.

At this point, it might be fair to wonder — is there anything Daly can’t do?
