Ex-Rangers Captain Fanboys Over Chris Kreider Throwing Out 1st-Pitch During Los Angeles Angels Game
The duo of Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider is one big happy family in Anaheim. The reunion of the two former Rangers teammates is going swimmingly, as Chris Kreider threw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Angels game to former captain Trouba.
The duo of Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba has reunited in Anaheim. Trouba was sent to Anaheim in December, and Kreider would follow during the postseason, in which the team would receive a draft pick and Carey Terrance.
The buddies are back at it again, as Kreider would throw out the first pitch during the Los Angeles Angels game.
Trouba's excitement wouldn't be understated at all with Kreider's participation in the pre-game ceremonies.
Kreider and Trouba represented their new team at Ducks Night, which was held by the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. The evening was highlighted by Kreider throwing out the First Pitch to Trouba.
Chris Kreider's First-Pitch in Angel's Stadium
Kreider, the former Rangers sniper, would joke on his way to the mound:
«Right in the dirt! Right in the dirt!,» the self-deprecating Kreider joked on his way to the mound.
The former Rangers forward would go the unique route of going atop the hill at Angel's Stadium and would fire a nearly perfect strike to Trouba. This was different than celebrities, who typically take the mound 40 feet from home plate.
The duo would remain mic'd up during the ceremony, and you could catch the dialogue and laughter between the two friends.
«Pretty good! Pretty good!,» exclaimed a laughing Trouba when he met Kreider in front of the plate for a handshake.
As they walked off the field, the former Rangers captain gushed, «That was all-time!»

Jokingly, Kreider would ask what the speed was on the gun while posing with his team's mascot, Wild Wing.
It seems he's taken to Anaheim well, and he hasn't been established in Orange County just yet.
