Pospisil Throws First Pitch At Toronto Blue Jays

It was a night of firsts for Vasek Pospisil on Friday in Toronto as he threw out the first pitch at the Blue Jays’ game against the Seattle Mariners.

“That was the first time I’ve ever thrown a baseball in my life so I’m pretty happy with how it went,” said Pospisil. “It’s also the first time I’ve ever been to a baseball game so I’m really pumped.”

The Canadian is in Toronto ready to compete at the Rogers Cup, the sixth ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament of the season, which begins on Monday.

Pospisil is looking for a return to form at the tournament where he made his breakthrough three years ago, when it was held in Montreal, by reaching the semi-finals (l. to Raonic). The 26 year old opens his bid against Jeremy Chardy and also competes in the doubles alongside countryman Daniel Nestor.
