Union's Bedoya makes his pitch count at Citizens Bank Park

Newly signed Union midfielder Alejandro Bedoya said very little gets him nervous. The veteran who has 53 caps for the U.S. national team, says he wasn't the least bit nervous when playing his first game with his new team during Saturday's 4-0 Major League Soccer win at New England.

Bedoya was chosen as one of three people to throw out an opening pitch before Thursday's game between the Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park and he admitted to some pre-game jitters.

Just like Temple quarterback Phillip Walker, Bedoya, wearing a Phillies jersey, threw a strike.
