What a rush! Road Warrior Animal and James Laurinaitis are intimidating even when they aren't in uniform

James Laurinaitis is very good at intimidating people. To be a successful linebacker in the NFL, you need to be. But even when he isn't on the field, the Rams star still one scary dude.

I wonder where he got that from?

On Tuesday, Laurinaitis was on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Busch Stadium along with his dad, Joe -- who might be one of the most intimidating people in history.

You may not recognize him without the face paint, but Joe is also known as Road Warrior Animal, one half of the pro wrestling duos The Road Warriors and The Legion of Doom.
