Yesterday, our Philadelphia brethren added to their legacy of irreverence. On Science day, an event conjured to imbue intellectual curiosity into our impressionable youth, the Phillies organization partnered with the University of Pennsylvania and arranged to have a robot throw out the first pitch. Seemed like a interesting approach, and in another city, probably would have been a stellar success.
In Philly however, the land where fans have booed Santa and cheered when opposing players were injured, the robot failed to impress. Perhaps they were expecting 90 mph on the black, but the engineers toned down the velocity to protect the team mascot at the receiving end of the pitch. The robot unleashed a soft one-hopper and was resoundingly booed.
