He's one of the few celebrities not to embarrass themselves when throwing the first pitch at a baseball game.

Jimmy Kimmel proved he's more than just a funnyman on Sunday as he threw the ceremonial first pitch at the New York Mets versus Chicago Cubs playoff game in Queens, New York.

The 47-year-old New York native blasted the ball from the mound, dressed in a Mets jersey, with fairly decent accuracy making a nice showing for himself.
