Army Vet Throws out the First Pitch

Like a grenade. “Retired Army sergeant Brian Keaton crawled on his belly up the side of the mound and then threw the baseball as if he was tossing a grenade.” This was before the San Francisco Giants played the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. The video has “racked up more than 1.1 million views so far.”

And you thought it was just football that had become so militarized.

What is even more tragic is what would happen if a large map of Japan were placed on the field and the Air Force reenacted the atomic bombing of Japan complete with mushroom clouds of smoke. The crowd would probably go wild in patriotic frenzy.
