Ceremonial first pitch

At Tarou High School, the season opener is, well, quite extravagant, but so popular that, despite being a regular school game, it's held in the city's largest stadium. Tradition has it that the ceremonial first pitch (let's stick with that name...) is thrown by the tallest student. It's a truly magnificent spectacle as the gigantic bull, weighing several tons and with muscles tensed to the point of explosion, slowly walks onto the field, lies down on the turf, and the midfielders (slightly smaller but equally impressively muscular) place the ball in front of him. A moment of concentration... and the ball soars!

The season has begun.

Then, for all interested, the traditional meeting with the pitcher in the locker room. It's truly worth the trip; it's fantastic fun...
