On a warm Sunday afternoon, actor Jessica Alba came out to Dodger Stadium to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. She stars in a new film called “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” that comes out on August 22nd, and was decked out in full-Blue-regalia for the event. Alba wore a Dodger jersey, well-worn blue jeans and equally sequenced blue sneakers.

Better yet, she displayed rare form while warming up for her big pitch. As I'm sure you know, the cast of characters who usually come out for this kind of honor often embarrass themselves on the mound, but as you can see in the two photos above (and vine video below) she obviously has played the game and seems unlikely to mess up.

I wonder if she played in the Little Leagues. Maybe she was a Mo'ne Davis before Mo'ne Davis hit the scene.
Anyway, she made a huge impression with the fans, and made an even bigger impression with Dodger starter Zack Greinke. Check out his smile below, it's the widest I've ever seen.

What a big day for Zack. He apparently also had a chance to meet his favorite actor. As soon as I can find a video of her actual pitch I'll share it below.

UPDATE: Here's the video of Jessica's Alba's first pitch. Not perfect, but not bad.
