Ohio State Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott, a St. Louis native, will be throwing out the first pitch for the Cinco de Mayo clash between the St. Louis Cardinals and rival Chicago Cubs.
Elliott announced the news on social media.
More than honored to throw the first pitch out tonight at the Cardinals game against the Cubs

We already know that Elliott is one of the most dominant rushers on the gridiron, but how will he fare on the baseball diamond? Only time will tell.
As an added bonus, we may get to see Elliott alter his honorary Cardinals jersey in a way that will make Buckeyes fans happy.
I guess I have to crop top the Cards jersey tonight when I throw the first pitch right ?

Please, Ezekiel, for the sake of the internet, give us the first-ever first pitch in a crop top jersey. We are all counting on you.
