MLB.com: ‘Idol’ finalist throws out first pitch

Guy’s got to stop smiling - he just looks creepy/smug when he does (although he’s not as creepy as the former ‘Star Search’ kid).

David Cook, one of three finalists on “American Idol,” threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Royals’ game against the Orioles on Friday night. Kauffman Stadium fans, treated to video clips of Cook’s TV performances on the giant CrownVision board, screamed as he took the field.
...
“My performances are always dedicated to the Kansas City Royals,” Cook told the crowd.
...
Cook, from the suburb of Blue Springs, Mo., had a busy day. He gave a concert in Kansas City, appeared at a Blue Springs elementary school and was given a parade in his hometown.

Although plans called for Cook to sing the national anthem before the game, he deferred to the kids’ group originally enlisted for that honor, the Southwood Elementary Choir.
