Bachelorette Rebecca Kufrin threw out the first pitch for the Twins and helped promote Eddie 'Rosie' Rosario

The final push to send Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario to win the MLB Final Vote presented by Camping World included a celebrity appearance by Rebecca Kufrin of ABC's "The Bachelorette." Kufrin asked fans to help send Rosario to the 2018 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, while Rosie was sporting a nice tux, and of course, he presented her with a rose -- get it?
"You look so handsome," Kufrin said as she approached Rosario prior to the Royals-Twins game on Tuesday:

The Minnesota native also hung out with the team during batting practice and when she met Joe Mauer "no introduction was needed." 
Did we mention the Twins had a lot of fun with this promotion?

Rosario was grateful for the support. "I think it's good," he said to MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. "I like that all the guys are trying to help me be an All-Star. It's the little stuff. I know other guys are more in the public but I appreciate that everyone is trying to help go to the All-Star Game."
When Kufrin had to throw the ceremonial first pitch, it couldn't have gone any better:

Look at that form. Not only did she throw it from the mound, but we didn't see a bounce, did you?
"She threw a strike," Rosario said with a smile.
Just a few more episodes left and we will find out who Becca chose to spend the rest of her life with. And also, keep checking the Final Vote tallies to see if fans did indeed, "Accept This Rosie."
