This date in Cincinnati Reds history: Mark Mallory's ceremonial first pitch

Do you remember what happened on Cincinnati Reds Opening Day in 2007, before the game even started?

That's right: It's been 12 years since Mark Mallory, who was Cincinnati's 68th mayor, threw one of the most infamous ceremonial first pitches ever on April 2, 2007.

Of course, others such as 50 Cent, Miss Texas Monique Evans, Carly Rae Jepsen and John Wall have since asked Mallory to hold their beers.
