Former Notre Dame LB Darius Fleming throws out MLB first pitch
IRISH STEW
Darius Fleming is more than a football player.
The former Notre Dame linebacker is also an accomplished bowler, and he grew up participating in rodeos in the suburbs of Chicago.
On Saturday, he showcased a new skill.
Fleming threw out the first pitch prior to the Chicago White Sox's home game against the Cleveland Indians. The pitch, which was impressively thrown from the actual mound, was picked out of the dirt by ceremonial catcher and White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon.
Check out Fleming's pitch below.
