GAME. BLOUSES.
On Wednesday afternoon, Luna Simone Stephens, the daughter of singer John Legend and actress, social media star and model Chrissy Teigen, decided to take her talents from the sandlot to the pitcher’s mound. Well, it was actually right in front of the batter’s box, because she’s only 1 year old, y’all, and her arm strength isn’t there … yet. But, just wait on it.
Today she may need mommy and daddy’s assistance, but give it about 15 more years and you’ll be hearing about Luna on Rivals and Scout. The ceremonial first pitch preceded the Minnesota Twins-Seattle Mariners tilt at Safeco Field in Seattle.
First pitch @johnlegend? Nope daughter Luna gets the honor. @Mariners @robinsoncano there at the dish. pic.twitter.com/pjRmANKKH3
