Cardale Jones to throw out first pitch for Indians

Ohio State championship-winning quarterback Cardale Jones, who made it known on Twitter that he wanted to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Cleveland Indians game, has finally been granted his wish.

On Thursday, the Cleveland Indians tweeted that Jones will be throwing out the first pitch on June 5, when the team takes on the Baltimore Orioles.

.@CJ12_ will throw the 1st pitch on 6/5! Everyone who @’ed us about it: come on out! Tix: http://t.co/VdkFYBVTwUpic.twitter.com/IUy9Rh4IeD

Known to have a very entertaining Twitter page, Jones was (jokingly) angry when Ohio State running back, Ezekiel Elliott, threw out the first pitch for his hometown St. Louis Cardinals.

I’m just saying @Indians @EzekielElliott thinks his hometown loves him more than my hometown loves me because he throw out the first pitch

Following that tweet, the Indians asked Jones to slide into their DMs, presumably to grant Jones his wish.

Whether it is on the football field or on Twitter, Jones and his teammates seem to be having a lot of fun in their first offseason following their incredible national championship run. It would appear the Indians do in fact love Jones as much as the Cardinals love Elliott.

Known as “12 Gauge”, for the strength of his arm (at least while throwing a football), whoever catches Jones’ first pitch better have some extra cushion in their glove on June 5.
