Yesterday, the first pitch in a game between the San Diego Padres and the Kansas City Royals was thrown by a performer from the Cirque du Soleil:
Decked out in a vibrant costume, Gabryel Nogueira da Silva threw out a gravity-defying first pitch that should have John Wall signing up for tee-ball tryouts following his hideous one-hopper at Nats Park.
Watch as da Silva performs a 360-degree backflip on the mound…and then throws a strike for what has to be the best ceremonial first pitch ever.

Montreal acrobat and Cirque du Soleil performer Oli Lemieux amazes in this practice video. This makes me want to see another show of theirs, and soon! From Asylum~
While most of us are content to bounce up and down (and occasionally fall off and break a leg), when you put Oli on a trampoline he leaves physics behind him. The man runs up walls and bends gravity in whichever direction is appropriate to make backflipping off ledges look effortless.

The routines practiced are for the current show, Dralion.
