WATCH: 104-year-old World War II Veteran Throws Out First Pitch at Memphis Redbirds Game

A 104-year-old World War II veteran threw out the first pitch before the Memphis Redbirds' Fourth of July game on Wednesday.

Using a side windup, Army veteran Frank Anderson threw a strike to Redbirds manager Stubby Clapp.

Anderson became the oldest person to throw out a first pitch in Autozone Park history.

The team shared some photos of the veteran from his time in service.

Honored to have 104-year-old World War II veteran Frank Anderson throw a first pitch tonight!

We hear he's been practicing!

Frank was one of the first Master Sergeants under General Walton Walker in General Patton's 3rd Army of the 20th Corps.
