VIDEO: Zion throws out first pitch
The first child in the world to undergo a double hand transplant, threw out the first pitch at the Orioles-Rangers game.

The first child in the world to undergo a double hand transplant threw out the first pitch at the Baltimore Orioles - Texas Rangers game Tuesday night.



9-year-old Zion Harvey underwent the procedure last summer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.





When he was two years old, he developed an infection that required his hands and feet to be amputated.



But on this night, he impressed everyone at Camden Yards with his pitch.



Way to go Zion!
