Kevin Spacey donned an Orioles cap, walked to the top of the mound and fired a strike for the ceremonial first pitch before the O’s took down the Blue Jays 7-4 on Sunday. It was one of the better first pitches I’ve ever seen.
Afterward, Spacey showed off the ball and a glove that closer Jim Johnson gave him.
Jim Johnson @Orioles signed the ball I threw & gave me one of his gloves! Awesome gift. I threw a strike! pic.twitter.com/t6EunDA5Dg

If I had to guess, I would assume that Spacey was likely in Baltimore working on season two of the best show on TV (or the internet, I guess), House of Cards. And yes, I know The Newsroom just came back last night — its got nothing on Frank Underwood.
About to throw out the first pitch for the @Orioles hopefully Its not the worst pitch ever. pic.twitter.com/DwHBAycVLC
