Doug Pederson, accompanied by the Lombardi Trophy and wearing a Roy Halladay jersey, threw out quite an impressive first pitch for the Phillies on their home opener.

Pederson showed he still has plenty of arm talent left from his days as an NFL quarterback, taking the mound at Citizens Bank Park and delivering an impressive strike to Phillies slugger Rhys Hoskins.

Predictably, the crowd received him and Eagles' general manager Howie Roseman better than they did Gabe Kapler, who received plenty of boos.
