Caron Butler to Throw Out First Pitch
A 6’7” swingman out of the University of Connecticut and Racine, WI, Wizards captain and two-time All-Star Caron Butler will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at tomorrow’s Washington Nationals baseball game. On the hardwood, Butler averaged a career-high 20.8 points per game for the Wizards in 2008-09, and was joined by LeBron James as the only two players in the NBA to average at least 20 points, six rebounds and four assists per game. With two game-winning shots at the buzzer to his credit last season, Butler lived up to his nickname ‘Tuff Juice’. On the diamond, this marks Butler’s third career ceremonial first pitch, having done the honors for the Florida Marlins in 2003 and previously for the Washington Nationals on June 24, 2007 vs. Cleveland.

wizards4life, at media exit interviews someone asked him if he was and he said maybe, im going to do better than the last time. The media was not very forgetful and let him have it about his last effort, and Antawn Jamison also eluded to it during his exit interview.
He needs to make up for that last one

Caron has redeemed himself as he threw a strike right down the middle of the plate
