Gold medalist Bryan brothers throw out first pitch ... twice

Bob and Mike Bryan, one of the most successful men’s doubles teams in ATP history, threw a simultaneous first pitch Tuesday at Great American Ball Park.

The Bryan brothers won gold medals at the London Olympics last week, and are in town for the Western & Southern Open taking place in Mason, Ohio, from Aug. 11-19. 

"To hit a baseball coming at you at 100 mph with a little stick is probably the hardest thing you can do in sports," Bob said. "We face big serves every night, but to hit it with a little stick is pretty amazing."
