John Daly has always gone with the "grip it and rip it" approach when it comes to his golf swing, bombing balls down the fairway on his way to two major championships in his career. 

On Wednesday night in St. Louis, Daly took a similar approach on the baseball diamond, casually throwing out the first pitch at Busch Stadium prior to the start of the Washington Nationals-St. Louis Cardinals game.
