Evelyn Jones is 108 years old. But she didn't spend her latest birthday just relaxing at home. Instead, the very senior citizen was at Safeco Field in Seattle, joining our list of memorable first pitch throwers . Prior to the Mariners taking on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Saturday night, Jones put on a team jersey and walked over to the home plate area in order to show off her arm. And while the underhand toss did not travel very far, it was still a more impressive effort than 50 Cent’s first pitch fail . Jones was gifted a uniform shirt with the number 108 on it, while the Mariners wrote on Twitter after the game: “Evelyn threw a first pitch to @RealKingFelix and the entire stadium sang her Happy Birthday. Best birthday ever?” You know it. And one we should all be fortunate enough to celebrate.
