News 12 Then: The 1st pitch for the Chattanooga Lookouts season of 1991

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – The Chattanooga Lookouts haven’t announced yet who will throw out the first pitch when the 2016 season kicks off Tuesday at AT&T field.

But we can tell you who did it 25 years ago.

In 1991, veterans were all the rage at the ballparks that spring, because the first Persian Gulf war had just ended with the surrender of Saddam Hussein.

So the Lookouts booked a veteran, too… but not from Iraq.

Take a look.
