Updated with new video:
After a delay due to poor weather, Jessica finally took to the mound on May 11th to deliver the opening pitch for a baseball game between the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions. Wearing a hat and jersey in support of the LG Twins and sporting bright pink shoes, she delivered a unique pitch that failed to reach the catcher but still delighted the audience watching the game.
Press photos and fantaken images of Jessica’s opening pitch can be found in Soshified’s Photos Section. Check out a video of Jessica’s opening pitch below or download it from Soshified’s Video Downloads Section.
Previous article from April 8th:
On April 10th, Jessica will throw the opening pitch at a baseball game between the LG Twins and Lotte Giants, making her the latest member of Girls’ Generation to participate in a game’s opening ceremony.
In 2007, after Girls’ Generation performed “Into The New World” at the start of a game between the Doosan Bears and Kia Tigers, Yuri threw the opening pitch to Sooyoung, and would later also throw an opening pitch to Seohyun at another Doosan Bears and Kia Tigers game in April of 2009. Sooyoung was the celebratory batter at a Doosan Bears vs. Samsung Lions game in May of 2009, while Yoona was the opening pitcher at another Doosan Bears game in September of the same year. Seohyun was also an opening pitcher in a game in 2010, with Yoona as the opening batter. In the same year, Girls’ Generation was also voted as the girl group that best suits pro-baseball pitching.
Fans are anticipating Jessica showcasing her skills in sports, especially after her appearance in the CF for the Freestyle Sports line of video games.
Girls’ Generation currently endorses both LG and Lotte, and has recently released CFs for both LG Cinema 3D TV and Lotte Department Store.

OH.MY.GOD. Jessica’s pitch just made one of the final headlines just now on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption! Tony Kornheiser wished her a “belated 23rd birthday” and stated that “she is in a very hot Korean girl band called Girls Generation. But that’s not why we’re wishing her a happy birthday”. She made the show because it was the worst ceremonial first pitch he had ever seen. LOL. Congrats Jessica!
