If Sister Mary Jo is ever looking for a second career, she need not go far.


Before the game between the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox, Marian Catholic School's Sister Mary Jo Sobieck took to the mound and shocked the crowd by throwing a perfect first pitch.

Sister Mary Jo told Good Morning America on why she was chosen to throw out the first ball:

I think it's probably because I have a little bit of athletic ability. I was probably the most likely candidate because of my youth and my agility.

Turns out it isn't only youth and agility: Sister Mary Jo comes from a long line of athletes and played volleyball and softball while attending the College of St. Scholastica in Minnesota.

Check out the awesome pitch below.




Sister Mary Jo certainly won some fans on Twitter.
