San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove throws record-setting pitch in Antarctica. Musgrove says bigger mission of trip was to raise awareness for Challenged Athletes Foundation.
SAN DIEGO – There’s pitching in cold weather and then there’s what San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove did.“The terrain a little difficult out here. The biggest trouble of the whole event was finding the right space to do it,” Musgrove said. “Feet and feet of snow. So, trying to tamp it down enough to get a flat enough surface that’s not on a slope of a mountain that was difficult enough in itself.
“It’s a once in a lifetime event; surrounded by good company and people that are inspired by CAF athletes,” Sewell said. Another challenge, following specific guidelines, permits and regulations to even throw the pitch, Musgrove tossed an 86 mph fastball to set the record. But like Sims, who also got to toss a pitch or two, the trip was about more than just how hard Joe threw.
