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.

Go Go Go Sica! Pitch like the pro and make your Seobang proud; better yet, beat her at her own game! hahaha…
In my eyes, Yuri is the most sporty out of all the members. She just has the body, fierceness, and determination of an athlete. Something about her makes me think she is great and loves sports, even tho I’m not sure if she does…She is a sexy sporty at least :D
I’ll support Jessica in this, I think she’ll do great if she really puts her mind to it. Since it’s live and solo she will probably try harder than usual. That’s not to say I think she doesn’t try hard, but we know Jessica ;)
Fighting!! <3
I will admit, I haven’t seen all these pitches and at-bats that they speak of by the girls, but I can never forget the amazing submarine-style pitch that Yuri put on Sooyoung back in 2007. Yuri put in the effort, and it clearly showed inner deadly speed and accuracy. We will just have to wait and see what Jessica has in store for us. She has a good trait to build off of…she has quite a grip on that phone…I’m thinking curve all with that grip :-)
Oh man this’ll be so interesting to watch. I wonder if she’ll do as well (or as flashy) as her Seobang hmm? Can’t wait to see!!
this is gonna be more than interesting.
a chance for the secret athlete to show up her skills.
( maybe even better than her Seobang haha)
OH NO OH NO. where is yuri to throw!! @@ BK Yuri come throw also! in fact, all nine of them should come throw! :)
I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m not really into sports
jessica opening the game will be my sport moment of the year :)
i’m so curious about how her pitch will be
but i’ll cheer for her no matter how it will looks like !!!
Is all of SNSD going to be there? ♥♥♥
I hope Sica doesn’t fall asleep while throwing the ball. Keke~ ^^
~anticipate~
Sooyeon fighting! ^^
This is Jessica chance to show her skill. I guess that why she been missing. She must practice to throw the ball… I hope you will make everyone surprise..
Don’t underestimate Jessica guys. If you’ve seen her playing ping pong, you’ll know why she can surprise you.

The secret athlete will once again have an opportunity to show her skills. XD Hehe. Sica, hwaitaeng!
Epic news. Jessica, I am looking forward to this. Don’t disappoint me…
PS: Soccer next time, pretty please? :p I have yet to see you kick a soccer ball, despite all your claims of being an awesome soccer player…
I have a feeling her pitch will be cute and embarrassing at the same time. But hwaiting anyway Sica!
She’ll probably go to Kwon seobang for lessons before the 10th. ^^
If Sica really does slip opening the game, I’m going to attempt not to laugh, and then start to worry about her. Really, couldn’t they have picked someone sportier?! Or was everyone else busy? And I think it’s rather awkward to throw an opening pitch for rivalling teams who you both endorse. Hwaiting, Sica yah.
This is extremely surprising LOL.
For someone whose motto is to never eun even when late to open a baseball match? SICA FIGHTING!
Show the inner sporty side of you ♥
and Funny how Sica and the server have the exact same expression in picture above.
wow it has been awhile since our girls become the opening for the baseball game.
it’s nice seeing Jessi finally got something to do :D

I just hope that she won’t slip and fall or anything xb Gorjess Hwaitaeng

Woo! Just another reason for me to love Jessica even more. Having been a baseball player and her now throwing an opening pitch, she just gets ever cooler in my eyes!
