USWNT star Allie Long worked some soccer tricks into her first pitch for the Mariners
Soccer? On a baseball diamond?
This sort of thing might sound unfathomable to you, accustomed to watching baseball things happen on a baseball field. But there was one especially slick soccer (or football, if you want to get technical) moment prior to Friday's Tigers-Mariners game at T-Mobile Park, courtesy of Allie Long of the United States Women's National Team and Reign FC.
Exhibiting levels of coordination I can't even begin to comprehend as I knock my glass of water off the table like a clumsy oaf, Long worked some dribbling into her ritual on the mound:
That's how it's done. ⚽⚾ pic.twitter.com/SKKsxq4879

Major style points, Allie. We're not worthy.
Can she kick it? Yes she can. ⚽@USWNT and @ReignFC star @ALLIE_LONG with a first pitch—and footwear—we won't soon forget. pic.twitter.com/58tZ3hzkij
