Joe Manganiello threw out the first pitch on Tuesday before the game against the Chicago Cubs. The Mt. Lebanon native tossed the ceremonial pitch to pitcher David Bednar. The pitch sailed above the strike zone, but Manganiello still received a nice ovation from the home fans.
The movie star's career has taken him from Carnegie Mellon University to California, but Manganiello always reps the 412.
