101-Year-Old Throws Out First Pitch



Kitty Cohen, 101 years young, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Blue Jays-Angels game on Mother's Day.

Clad in a blue Toronto jersey, Cohen was escorted to the mound by the team mascot, Ace, and warmed the crowd with her smile.

After winding up several times, she released an underhand toss to catcher Josh Thole at home plate. With her kids, grandkids -- and even her dentist -- in attendance at Rogers Centre cheering her on, she received a kiss from Thole and high-fives from the groundskeeping staff.
