Cirque du Soleil Performer's First Pitch At Padres-Royals Game (VIDEO)

John Wall could learn a thing or two from this guy.

A Cirque du Soleil performer threw out the first pitch in Monday night's game between the San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals at Petco Park. And of course, he injected some Cirque du Soleil magic in the pitch, did an incredible acrobatic move and threw a strike.

Scroll down to watch the video.

Proof that he will never be President: he threw the 1st pitch on-target.

That damn balk rule has been keeping Circus performers out of the big leagues for years.

I'd love to see pitchers get creative like that with their wind up. Might really liven up the game!

With a wind up like that he'd be easy to steal on.

well duh. that's why he adds a flying deke towards first when he's pitching from the stretch.

do you think if you could do that regularly, like you know if pitchers were actually athletic, that you could strike a guy out?

imagine trying to hit an 87mph curve after the guy just did that

Dear Huffpost, Thanks for chopping the video too short. Would have been nice to get some information about the guy's talents. The internet isn't only for cool videos. We like information too.
