Prince Harry throws out first pitch at Mets game

Britain's Prince Harry has thrown out the ceremonial first pitch before the New York Mets hosted the Minnesota Twins.

Harry walked to the mound when the Mets ran onto the field before the first inning Saturday and received polite applause from the Citi Field crowd.

Wearing a white T-shirt and blue Mets cap, he sheepishly waved to the crowd as he stood on the top of the mound. He then shook his right arm several times and did a full body jiggle to loosen up.

The 25-year-old prince threw with some zip to Mets catcher Rod Barajas, who stood from his crouch to catch the throw that crossed the plate.

Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey gave Harry throwing advice about a half-hour before the game.

Harry is on the second day of a three-day trip to New York City.
