Mo'ne Davis throws out World Series first pitch, gets kudos from Hank Aaron

SAN FRANCISCO — The Mo'ne Davis world tour is still going and it zoomed into AT&T Park on Saturday. She threw out the first pitch before World Series Game 3 — a strike, of course — and met plenty of big leaguers.

It was two stars from the past, however, that Davis said she was most thrilled to meet.

"Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson," she said, a few minutes after watching the Royals score four runs in the third inning while eating an ice cream sundae.

America, this girl is living the life. Since becoming a national star in the Little League World Series, where she became the first girl to throw a shutout, Davis has made the cover of Sports Illustrated, appeared on late-night TV talk shows, thrown out first pitches and most recently starred in a Spike Lee-directed commercial.

Baseball, though, is still No. 1 on her list.

"Just to be at the World Series is pretty cool," she said. "If I didn't throw a strike, I don't know what I would do. Just throwing a strike was probably the best part."

She even threw it from the mound, which doesn't usually happen during ceremonial first pitches. She earned kudos from Aaron, the great home-run hitter who certainly had seen some great pitchers in his day. He was honoring Giancarlo Stanton on the field as the NL winner of the Hank Aaron Award just a few minutes before Davis' first pitch.

"He was just telling me he saw me throwing," Davis said, "and it's pretty impressive how hard I throw."

Remember, though, Davis was born in 2001. So as a baseball fan from the Philadelphia area, even Hank Aaron can't compete with her favorite Phillie.

"I got to talk to Chase Utley on the phone," Davis said. "So I think that tops it all. "
