Dan Marino throws first pitch at Pirates game
CBS NFL analyst (and NFL Hall of Famer) Dan Marino threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Thursday night's Pittsburgh Pirates game at Heinz Field. To commemorate the occasion, the Pirates gave Marino a custom team jersey.

Marino is a Pittsburgh native who played football and baseball at Central Catholic HS. Marino was actually drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 1979, but chose to play college football at Pitt before embarking on his legendary NFL career with the Miami Dolphins. It's safe to say Marino made the right choice.

Having grown up in Pittsburgh, Marino grew up a Pirates fan and is enjoying the team's playoff run.
