It’s not every day you get to throw a bullpen with a Major League All-Star, but Bryan Woo recently gave one young fan such a chance.
Woo strolled over to a group of fans scouting the Mariners’ bullpen before a home game and spotted the young fan who happened to be wearing a Woo jersey. Woo lifted the youngster over the fence of the bullpen and set him up on the mound for a quick game of catch.
One wild pitch aside, the fan had the strike zone dialed in, earning a fist bump from Woo and a well-deserved cheer from the surrounding fans. That’s sure to be a lifelong memory.
