Theo Epstein, who currently is the President of Baseball Operations for the Chicago Cubs, was in South Bend on Thursday to throw out the first pitch at the South Bend Cubs game. The South Bend Cubs are the Midwest League affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, and as such Theo keeps a pretty close eye on all happenings.

Instead of just keeping a close eye on things, Theo actually got his hands dirty and threw out the first pitch which almost nailed Clark, the new Cubs mascot.

It definitely looked like an intentional brushback pitch, which is hilarious if true.
