A 92-year-old World War II veteran threw out the first pitch at an MLB game
Memorial Day and Major League Baseball seem to go hand-in-hand, and on Monday, the Seattle Mariners got it right.
Before the Mariners' matinee victory against the San Diego Padres at Safeco Field, the team brought out a very special and deserving baseball fan: 92-year-old United States Navy 2nd Class Petty Officer Burke Waldron, who served in World War II.

Waldron spryly jogged out to the mound, took the rubber, and fired a pitch to catcher Steve Clevenger.

On an afternoon dedicated to those who've served the United States, the Mariners chose a great way to begin an afternoon of America's pastime.
