ICMB CHAIRMAN THROWS OPENING PITCH AT CORN CRIB

Throwing out one of the opening pitches for the Normal CornBelters baseball home game at the Corn Crib was Jim Rapp, Illinois Corn Marketing Board Chairman. He had a big wind up before throwing a pitch that was so fast it didn't even register on the meter. Wait, we didn't have a speed gun out there. Anyway he did a great job.

Chuck Zimmerman, AgWired, talked to Jim about the ICMB support for this stadium and team. Jim thinks it's great and says he wishes he had a chance to do some practice pitches before getting on the mound in front of the crowd.

You can see a lot of photos from the opener in the AgWired photo album: Normal CornBelters Corn Crib Opener Photo Album
