— -- Tuesday night's ceremonial first pitch at Camden Yards was in no way an ordinary first pitch. 

It came courtesy of Zion Harvey, a 9-year-old from from Owings Mills, Maryland, who became the first child in the world to undergo a bilateral hand transplant last summer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, according to an Orioles media release. 

Harvey, who lost his arms and legs to a life-threatening infection when he was 2, started the  Baltimore Orioles- Texas Rangers game with an impressive toss to O's outfielder  Adam Jones

The team snapped some nice photos of Zion prior to the game.
