Video: A 'Pretty Drunk' Supermodel Threw The First Pitch At A Dodgers Game

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Sure, drinking beers and watching a baseball game may be America's favorite pasttime, but we have to give supermodel Christine Teigen (who also happens to be John Legend's wife) kudos for taking up a notch.

She then gives a little sideways rump shake and then actually does a pretty good job with the pitch (better than we would've imagined with a billion margaritas in). Then she runs and jumps in catcher Drew Butera's arms and rolls around on the ground (still on the field) with a woman. It was magical.
