Simone Biles is Will Sage Astorvery familiar with winning medals at the Olympics.
However, the 11-time Olympic medalist is also growing familiar with the MLB pitching mound. On Friday, Biles threw out the first pitch ahead of the Houston Astros' game against the Kansas City Royals. Biles, who grew up in Spring, Texas, in the Houston metropolitan area, was among the Houston-area Olympians honored Friday. However, she got another opportunity to throw out a first pitch.
Sporting a light-blue Houston hat, a navy blue Astros jersey with the number 24 on the back, and white boots, Biles fired a ball over the plate at Minute Maid Park. It was a straight-up first pitch, without any gymnastics moves, as she had previously done when throwing out a first pitch. She did, however, stick the landing.
The seven-time gold medalist had thrown out the first pitch in 2016 and 2019. Biles has also been spotted on the sideline at Chicago Bears' preseason games, rooting on husband Jonathan Owens.
