It’s almost like a Cinderella story, for my birthday this year I walked the red carpet, green carpet actually to the premiere of MILLION DOLLAR ARM at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, CA . I was with some of my best friends and it was a relaxed situation. The carpet was a jeans type event.
The Premiere began with the Million Dollar pitching contest. Contestants took turns trying to pitch a 100 MPH. No one actually pitched 100 but it was still fun to watch as they tried.
Stars Jon Hamm, Lake Bell, Alan Arkin, Bill Paxton, Aasif Mandvi, Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal, and Pitobash were all in attendance. The premiere kicked off with a pitching contest where 9 Finalists competed for the chance to win a million dollars and a contract with Legendary Sports Agent J.B. Bernstein. All Finalists received a $500 gift package from Rawlings, a gift package from Under Armour and tickets to the ESPY Awards.
The party this time was a tailgating party where the food and everything was before the movie. I sort of goreged on food. I had a Subway sandwich and a Pink’s hot dog and I ate it all. For dessert I had a bite of a Krispy Kreme donut because I knew that if I got one of my own I would have eaten the entire thing. After I ate my weeks worth of calories I decided I would take a try at pitching. I pitched two 30 MPH balls in a row and then after that it went sadly downhill.
Yep I’ve got a long way to go before I’m winning millions!
