Danica Patrick Visits Wrigley

2006_09_sports_danica_patrick_wrigley.jpgSure, the Cubs played in front of their smallest crowd in 4 years yesterday and lost to the Pirates ... again. None of that mattered because they had perhaps the hottest female athlete in attendance. Yes, Danica Patrick visited Wrigley and took part in the pre-game festivities by throwing out the first pitch. Chicagoist hasn't seen the actual pitch, but from this photo of her in action, she looks like she'd be half- decent. Good enough for a spot in the Cubs rotation anyway.

We just hope she didn't tear her rotator cuff or suffer some other pitching injury, because Patrick is in town for this weekend's IRL race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.
