Major League Baseball has a long-time follower of a tradition that goes back to April 14, 1910. That tradition is none other than the one of throwing ceremonial first pitches before the game. Then, at pre-game, a special guest gets the honor of throwing out the first pitch. Last night at the Wrigley Field, before the game started, a ceremonial pitch was thrown by Chicago Cubs’ one of the oldest living fans, Sister Jean.

Sister Jean, an American religious sister of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who has seen the world for more than a century now, threw out her first pitch at a Cubs game. 

How did Chicago Cubs’ oldest fan’s first pitch go?

At the age of 103, Sister Jean arrived at the pitch in a wheelchair, dressed up in a Cubs jersey, all set and ready to throw her first pitch and also for her favorite team. 

Sister Jean threw out the pitch, and as soon as the mascot caught the ball, he came running toward her to give her a hug as big as he was. Not only did the mascot come happily towards her, but Sister Jean had also already opened her arms as much as she could to hug Clark, the bear.
