McKayla Maroney, an Olympic gymnast on the gold-medal winning national team at the 2012 London games, cartwheeled her way to an impressive ceremonial first pitch at the Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins game on Friday.
She took the mound at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago to show off her gymnastic chops perfoming two cartwheels before gently tossing the ball to the catcher.
Maroney became an internet sensation during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games when she sported what became her trademark "not impressed" facial expression after winning a silver medal in the vault competition.
Her popularity got her a presidential audience at the White House in November 2012 as well, where President Barack Obama famously posed for a photo with Maroney with both of them making the face.
