- Earlier in the week, Christopher Daniels threw out the first pitch at a Chicago White Sox game. He also wore his ROH World Championship while throwing a solid pitch to home plate.
So I did so well throwing the 1st pitch for the @whitesox that I'm now warming up in the bullpen in case of extra innings! pic.twitter.com/2OTNNwflXV
