Jason Kidd throws a strike at Yankee Stadium
New Brooklyn Nets coach Jason Kidd has been making the rounds since he was announced as coach last week. He has been on numerous talk shows and at events all over New York but tonight he made a big appearance.
Kidd made it to the mound with his son at the Cathedral of Baseball, Yankee Stadium, and threw an absolute bullet strike to the Yankee catcher.
The Yankees should have thought about letting Kidd stay on the mound as Phil Hughes got lit up tin the first inning for five hits and two runs.
