Do "throw the first pitch" and "throw out the first pitch" mean the same thing?
  

Top answer

I'm treading on thin ice by trying to answer a sports question, but I'll try. I think the person in the first quote is describing his first time in a particular game. The person in the second quote is probably a celebrity of some sort who was asked to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the game that opens the team's series, most likely from the stands.
