“Long John” Dalylived up to his nickname once again at Wednesday’s game between the Cardinals and the Dodgers.

The 1991 PGA Champion, 55, dusted off one of his signature moves when he threw out the first pitch for “John Daly Night” in St. Louis. “We’regonna throw it as far as we can, brother,” he told retired Cardinals pitcher Ryan Franklin in a clip posted to the PGA Tour Champions' Twitter.

Instead of throwing the ball to Franklin on home plate, Daly arched back to wind up the pitch, which he aimed for the stands, but fell short. “It slipped,” Daly joked with Franklin before walking closer to the stands so he could throw it to the fans.

The pitch was reminiscent of his PGA Championship victory, which happened 30 years ago this summer at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana. The underdog moment was immortalized when Daly, the ninth and final alternate, won with his signature long drive.

Fans at Wednesday’s gamereceived a free Daly bobblehead, and a portion of each ticket sale went toPGA REACH Foundation, which provides access to PGA Professionals and the game of golf for youth, military and diverse populations.
