This is officially the most brilliant ceremonial first pitch gimmick ever staged, just narrowly beating out that time Bill Murray ran the bases and slid into home at Wrigley Field: Yesterday at Japan’s Tokyo Dome, Ringu/The Ring villainess Sadako (who’s coming back for more in Sadako 3D , in Japanese cinemas this May) trudged to the mound to throw the first pitch before the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters battled the Chiba Lotte Marines. Somehow she managed to see through her signature wall of scary horror hair to toss a decent looper before the ghostly spirit took over and…well, just watch for yourself. Yep. Just about the best thing ever. (Sadako entrance at 1:30.) But wait — does this mean everyone who throws the first pitch after her is cursed? [ Movie Collection via TwitchFilm ]
