RoboCop Throws First Pitch at Detroit Tigers Game (Video)

DETROIT -- For a RoboCop, you might have thought that his first pitch would go through the catcher to the backstop. That's what Tigers outfielder Rajai Davis predicted before it happened Tuesday night at Comerica Park. "A Robo-arm strike, that's what I'm predicting," Davis said. "He's got it in him, I think he's got the ability. I think he'll do it right. And I think he'll do it tonight because tonight's the night."On this point, it is very much worth noting that Robocop was on hand Tuesday night to throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to that evening's Blue Jays-Tigers game.It’s part of “RoboCop Day” in honor of the DVD release of this year’s “RoboCop” remake. An announcement was to be made Tuesday about a RoboCop statue that’s expected to be installed in Detroit this year, but that event and a police meet-and-greet were cancelled. A movement for the statue started in 2011 after a social networking campaign.
