Update August 28th:
Taeyeon and Seohyun attended the August 27th baseball game between the LG Twins and Nexen Heroes to kick things off with a ceremonial first pitch and a few encouraging words. Wearing both the jersey of the home team LG Twins and “Despicable Me 2” minion toys, Taeyeon went out to throw the first pitch, while Seohyun, dressed similarly, prepared to hit the baseball at home plate. Taeyeon’s throw flew over home plate and the catcher, hitting one of the minions in the back. Seohyun still played along and swung at the pitch as Taeyeon continued laughing near the pitcher’s mound.

MBC also broadcasted the event which can be downloaded by checking out Soshified’s Video Downloads Section. Fantaken images of the girls’ arrival and departure from Jamsil baseball stadium can also be found in Soshified’s Photos Section.
Original article on August 24th:
On August 27th, Taeyeon and Seohyun will make a special appearance at a LG Twins and Nexen Heroes baseball game at Jamsil Stadium. The baseball game will take place at 6:30 PM, and Taeyeon will throw the opening pitch of the game with Seohyun as the honorary batter. This will be Taeyeon’s first time delivering an opening pitch, making her the seventh member of Girls’ Generation to do so, following Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Yuri, Yoona, and Seohyun. Seohyun has also previously been the celebratory batter at a Doosan Bears and Kia Tigers game in April of 2009.
The members of Girls’ Generation have been honorary pitchers at two baseball games this year alone, with Tiffany throwing the opening pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game in May, and Sunny throwing the opening pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds baseball game in July.

Finally Taeyeon unnie gets a chance to pitch on the field~ Can’t wait~! Taeyeon & Seohyun unnie, Fighting!! :D
Taeyeon fighting~
I hope you’ll do better on field Taeyeon~ah.. I saw what you did last time in JAT.. That maybe straight to the face. :D Aigoo Taetae~
So Hyoyeon and Sooyoung should be up next..
Taenggu just picture and focus on Seobaby’s elbow and throw it hard,
you will be just fine, remember the day that sharp elbow strike your face
Woah, Taeyeon will throw first pitch ?
I wonder if it would be good pitch or hilarious pitch. :)
I hope it’ would be the first.
Taengoo fighting !
Good Luck, Taengoo :).
All the very Best, Seohyun :D.
To our 2 Gorgeous Soshi gals, Hwaiting!
Cheers!
Kenneth.
If the throw is bad the girls maybe get publicity that they otherwise wouldn’t. If it is good they prove that GG are a bit sporty. Either way SONEs win.
all the best of luck to taeseo. i hope they both will do well.
I be Taeyeons will be great!!!
hope taeyeon does well..taeyeon <3
Totally hyped up for this..LOL
Hey I don’t remember Yoona and Seohyun doing opening pitches before. I remember the other four. I’m surprised Hyoyeon hasn’t done one yet since she is one of the sportiest of the 9. At least I think she is. And Sooyoung as well. But I guess that doesn’t matter. I think Taeyeon will do an excellent job. And Seohyun will too batting! I think pitching is harder, though. Fighting!! <3
practice, practice, practice
She should ask Tiffany and Jessica for tips
uh no she should ask the YoonYul couple since those 2 are the better pitchers so far.
That might have been a joke :D
After the beanball she delivered to that fan in Japan, I hope she’s getting some PRACTICE! XDDDDD
Hey, they’re singers/dancers/artists/models, do they have to be athletes and baseball players too? This is all Yuri’s fault, for setting that ridiculously high standard back in their GGTS days.
let’s go Taengoo let’s go!
let’s go Seohyun let’s go!
hoping and praying that Taetae pitch a fast straight ball right in the center and that Seororo hit it out of the park, making it a HOME RUN. practice Taetae practice hard XD
uh so only 2 more Soshi left back to pitch after Taetae does hers. Sooyoung and Hyoyeon, can’t wait for when it’s their turn to go to the pitcher’s mound.
thanks SSF for update. <3
I hope Taeyeon does well with the pitch and Seohyun with the batting. Even if it’s not perfect, it’s still an honor to be throwing the opening pitch and being an honorary batter. Good luck girls!
~Fighting!
Hope Taeng does well. Perhaps she can sneak in a few pitching lessons into her schedule hehe. Fighting!
