Hero Cat to Throw Out First Pitch at Minor League Game

Feline heroics.

Tara the cat is making the most of her newfound fame. The feline hero was caught on camera rescuing a young boy from a dog attack and now, Tara will be "throwing" out the first pitch for the Bakersfield Blaze, Class-A affiliate of the Reds.

Tara has some pretty sweet non-human first pitches to contend with, like the baby T-Rex at Petco Park.

UPDATE:
