The St. Louis Cardinals may have an annoying fanbase, but they do have one major thing going for them: Taylor Swift’s BFF (and supermodel), Karlie Kloss, is apparently a fan. The Cards pounced on this good fortune and invited Kloss to throw out the first pitch at today’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Model & entrepreneur @karliekloss will throw a ceremonial pitch before the game. Karlie was raised in STL & grew up as an #STLCards fan.

Karlie took the honor seriously, as she spent part of her Sunday preparing for the big moment with her dad:

And again on gameday with pitcher Lance Lynn, who smartly bestowed the important task upon himself:

By the looks of it, all the prep work paid off:
