Sister Jean Delores Schmidt is 103 years old but still has what it takes to throw a pitch on a Major League Baseball field.

The avid sports fan took the mound at Wrigley Field on Sept. 27 to throw out the first pitch to start the game between the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies.

In a video shared by Sister Jean on her Twitter account, the sports fanatic got a little sassy when describing the pitch she made. You can see her custom-made jersey and a killer windup before she tossed the ball to the team mascot, a cub named Clark. Some would say that my pitch was low and away but what you didn’t see is that the cub actually called for a pitchout. pic.twitter.com/FocVaFo561Baseball fans around the world cheered for Sister Jean on social media and even had a little fun with the video of her first pitch. Someone on Twitter thought it would be nice to edit Sister Jean’s pitch with footage of Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Báez striking out.

The then-98-year-old nun was seen at all of the games wearing her now famous Loyola jacket and scarf. Sister Jean talked to TV commentators and consistently went viral on social media thanks to her prayers mixed with coaching tips.
