Update from July 28th:
On July 28th, Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Sunny were in attendance at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds baseball game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California to celebrate Korea Day. Before the festivities began, the girls posed for media photos, and Tiffany held a brief interview with the MC.
Taeyeon was up first, singing a beautiful version of the Korean national anthem. Afterwards, Tiffany gave a stunning performance of her rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, the American national anthem, to the crowd. Sunny then came out to throw the ceremonial first pitch. Following Sunny’s fellow members Jessica and Tiffany’s infamous pitches, the pressure was definitely on to throw a better one.
After Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Sunny’s performances, the three members posed for pictures with Los Angeles’s Ryu Hyunjin and Cincinnati’s Choo Shinsoo, both of whom are Korean baseball players in the United States.

*inhales then exhales* I think this was one of the best days ever!!!!!! I mean, no autographs sadly, but I was at least 5-10 feet from them when they exited their VIP rooms :D
Even if Sunny’s pitch wasn’t perfect, she still did better than Tiffany and Jessica, lol. No offense to them, still love em! I thought Tiffany’s song wasn’t her best. She was flat a few times. But she is still great! Taeyeon’s voice is ammmmazing! :) as Always. <3 Tiffany's little interview was sweet mentioning sones :)
Why is everyone sounding negative? I thought all three did amazing…:(
Man went there but got there late so missed out so much on the beginning so didn’t get to see soshi bummed much but saw them on the screen for a couple of seconds lol so better than nothing lol
Tiffany and Taeyeon’ voice were just amazing. Sunny, you did a very goob job today as well
where is my sooyoung at? lol
Soshi angels seriously need to practice on their pitches some more. their forms is good some what but it’s when to do justice with the ball is where the downfall is. i just saw a pic of Sunny’s pitch and that ball went high up in the air instead of straight forward. i watch a fancam and it looks as if she threw the ball straight forward. pics do tell a thousand words. i don’t know how the Korean anthem goes but it’s Taeng singing it so i’m sure she was on point. as for Fany, hmm i couldn’t listen very long. love you still babygirl. from fan accts on Twitter from Sones, it seems that Taeng is very proud of their accomplishments. good combo indeed. hope they’ll stay longer in L.A. so that Fany can celebrate her b-day at home with her family. then she can have a 2nd celebration back in S.K. with her members.
thanks SSF for instant update.
Sunny’s grip on the ball is entirely wrong (she has it back in the palm of her hand) and it caused her to lose grip way before the proper release point. Her upper and lower body are totally out of synch (hips should rotate first, then shoulders – she rotates both together) which forces her front shoulder open WAY too early (which she would likely do even if her upper and lower body were in synch). Her hands should break down in synch with the front knee going down, but her hands broke way too soon. Etc…
I could fix all that in about 20 minutes or less, SME just needs to contact me and I will fly to LA to coach the girls, lol.
With all that going wrong, she probably would have done fine if she just had gripped and released the ball properly.
Ha! i said the exact same thing about palming the ball in the community forum under the baseball curse topic. They should have been reading!
Oh well Sunny was super cute/hot and had great form otherwise. And she didn’t totally Jessica it up lol! So i’ll consider it a success!
Jessica did the same thing when she threw.
I coached youth baseball for 12 years so I understand how to break the throw down into terms a first timer can comprehend. All I can think is that the major league players are supervising their practice and aren’t good at breaking down pitching mechanics in terms they can understand? It’s really not that tough, with their coordination they should be able to pick it up very quickly.
I’m..dying a little inside..
Looking forward to watching it live on national television for two weeks now and I finally realized 10 minutes before they’re on that..They won’t show it in SF..RAWR! Please upload this soon!!~ TT-TT
sorry, whenever i see that pic I think Tiffany has her hand in her pants.
Is anyone going?
When are you guys gonna arrive there?
One day away! I can’t breathe.
Whoa, Sunny is my bias and she will be there!!! I’m going.
Who has the 411 on meeting up with other SONE at the stadium?
I’m going to try and get there by 12:30. You?
[email protected]
I’ll be there at 12!
Just because I have never been to the stadium before, so I might get lost LOL
Did you find out where the sones are meeting up yet?
There is a meet up in front of the entrance or something… im not sure either.. just join this group n ask people around https://www.facebook.com/groups/240556369381877/?hc_location=stream
I’m going so happy :D
This is one of those many moments where I wish I lived in LA instead of NYC! I really wish I could see them! Especially since 2 of my biases are gonna be there! TaeNy! I wanna see you ;_;
Yuri should be one of them to throw the opening pitch. Cause she’s the best pitcher in the group.
By a looooong shot!
I wish i lived in LA so I could go!!!!!!
haha let’s see how many Sones are going to try and get 1 of those 60 free tickets. there probably going to be more than 60 wanting to go. SSF way to go coming up with an idea of getting Sones to support the girls when they arrive. i hope at least a thousand Sones show up at the game.
Well of course, two more members will show up, which should make things utterly interesting for sure! XD
Gonna anticipate this day.. i still remember when fany threw the opening pitch, i was at work then and at lunch time i checked tumblr. and my heart just sank because fany pulled a jessica (i still love you jessi). but Fany’s cuteness just revived my heart again.. kyaa~ minimynimo who’s gonna throw the opening pitch at the (show)? don’t pull a jessica and don’t have a strike like fany. :) GG fighting!!!
I would have liked to hear them sing the Star Spangled Banner as well.
It’s a real difficult song to sing, but TST would have done a better job than 99% of the people they bring in to sing it at ballgames.
And nobody could have had a problem with it because Fany and Sunny are US citizens, so it is their anthem too, and Taeyeon is simply awesome and would have done it proud even not being American.
Hope the crowd appreciates them.
I am SO going to watch this! Not sure where…or how…but THIS…will be watched….THE GIRLS WILL BE TELEVISED!!!!
Yes I’ll be in LA when that happens I hope I can see them
fany ah, please dont mispitch again LOL
Lol yessss the one time I’m happy my parents have MLB on demand.
I’m going to this somehow… some way….
true true
OUH YEAH! Sunny’s FINALLY having some time to prove herself. Seriously, I know that tastes depend on each person, but I personally love Sunny’s sweet voice, and I happen to think that she’s one of the members that sings better live (I bet I think very differently than some here…).
But anyway, I’m happy it’s her and not another TTS moment, I was seriously getting tired of so many sub-group promotions, I like it better when it’s everyone, or at least other members (for a change), and Sunny has always been underrated to me, so I’m glad, really, that she’s the one being chosen, and to all those who don’t like it, I bet she’s gonna prove you wrong. :)
Oh YEah!! I’m so pumped, I just can’ believe she’s coming here to the U.S.!! I so desperatley want to go to support them, especially if it means I’ll have h achance to meet and see Sunny face to face. I might pass out though. Tiffany has been here alot but seeing her will be surreal, and sooo awesome. TaeYeon will be even more dream-like since I only ever see her in Korean concert videos, MVs or tv programs. If Sooyoung came.. wow, thatd be my top three all in one place at once T.T
