Watch: Bulls 1st-round pick goes between-the-legs on 1st pitch
Leave it to a guy who goes between-the-legs with a basketball for a living to put some pizzazz into a ceremonial first pitch.
Chicago Bulls first-round pick Denzel Valentine went all Harlem Globetrotter on US Cellular Field when the White Sox invited him to throw the first pitch before Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The Michigan State product smoothly went behind-the-back and between-the-legs with the baseball before firing a slightly high offering to pitcher Carlos Rodon.

Valentine, who will wear No. 45 for the Bulls, donned a No. 45 White Sox jersey for the occasion, which was particularly apt given that 45 was Michael Jordan's number during his brief tenure as a White Sox minor leaguer.
