No one loves Chicago sports more than Sister Jean.
The 103-year-old chaplain is mostly well known for her loyalty to Loyola University during March Madness season, but she is as big of a Chicago sports icon as they come. On Tuesday, ahead of the Chicago Cubs versus Philadelphia Phillies matchup, Sister Jean was given the honor of throwing out the first pitch before the contest began.
This isn’t the first time Sister Jean has thrown out a first pitch for the Cubs either, as she did so before in 2018 at age 99! It’s not often someone gets to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game with such pomp and circumstance, let alone do so twice!
Sister Jean is still throwing out first pitches at 103!
