Watch Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan throw out the first pitch at today's Mets / Phillies game

Yo La Tengo‘s Ira Kaplan got to throw out the first pitch at the Mets / Phillies game at Citi Field today (6/1). As the co-founder of a band whose name is a baseball reference, this was an big day for Kaplan and he did not blow it, delivering the ball to catcher Marc Vientos, if just a little outside. The whole band were on hand, too. Congratulations, Ira! Watch video of it below.

Yo La Tengo will head out on their summer tour soon, beginning with a sold out show at Jersey City’s White Eagle Hall on June 9.
