Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls took a night off from gearing up for the 2012-2013 NBA season, and had a little fun playing some ball. By ball, I’m speaking of throwing out the first pitch at a White Sox game, in which he was pretty stoked since he was able to get it past the plate.
Bulls power forward Taj Gibson took a night off from the hardwood and headed for the baseball diamond, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the White Sox-Twins game Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
For the 6-foot-9 Gibson, he was relieved to have thrown the pitch for an apparent strike on the pitch, tweeting, “I got it over the plate!!! Lol.”
Taj Gibson averaged 7.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in less than 21 minutes last season.
