Mallory Might Pitch Again

UPDATE -

Mark Mallory's office confirms that he does not plan to throw out any more pitches.


As if anyone, anywhere wants to hear any more about Mayor Mark Mallory's pitching abilities....


The Florence Freedom team is offering His Honor another shot at throwing out a first pitch - this time, July 28 before the Freedom plays against River City, Mo.


Andy Furman, special assistant to the team's general manager, made the offer. He also promises Izzy's food at Champion Window Field that night, including samples of the Mallory "Screwball" Sandwich. In case you forgot, that's the sandwich the restaurant said would consist of any two meats "thrown in the general direction" of bread or a bun.


Mallory's been emphasizing lately the importance of the region and making appearances in Northern Kentucky. He helped kick off Newport's Italianfest and is waving the flag Saturday to start the Meijer 300 race at Kentucky Speedway.


No word yet on whether another pitch fits into the mayor's schedule. Or whether anyone really wants to see another display of Mallory pitching abilities.


This might help - Furman offered the assistance of the Freedom's pitching coach, Chris Hook.
