Alba Throws Out Impressive First Pitch at Dodgers Game

Sure she’s known as a Hollywood sex symbol… But, Jessica Alba is also one athletic woman.

The 33-year-old half-Mexican American actress proved that on Sunday when she threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium.

Even though she could have gotten closer to the home plate, Alba elected to take the mound when she threw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game.

In a vine captured by the Major League Baseball team, the Sin City: A Dame to Kill For actress shows some serious athletic skills as she plays catch with one of the Dodgers’ players moments before her big moment.

 

Alba’s experience at the stadium comes after Jeff Bridges and Chrissy Teigen delivered impressive first pitches earlier this summer. And, Alba’s was much better than 50 Cent‘s sad attempt.
