Tuesday was a memorable day for model Chrissy Teigen. She was the lucky person who got to throw the first ceremonial pitch out at Dodger Stadium. The only catch? Teigen was wasted! Before taking it to the pitcher's mound, John Legend's wife tweeted, "Crap, I'm pretty drunk." And hey, guess what? Despite imbibing with her dad before the game, Teigen threw an almost-perfect pitch! Whaddya know?!

Dressed in a sexy blue and white Dodgers get-up — including knee-high socks, natch — Teigen nailed her throw and deservedly celebrated afterward via posing for pics with catcher Drew Butera and cheering with family and friends on the sidelines. Adorable. Also a true testament to the power of booze.

Teigen admit to practicing before the big day with her famous husband, tweeting, "Making John practice with me now. I have such a false confidence after 50 Cent." (Teigen was referencing 50's embarrassing throw at a Mets game.) But I don't know, you guys. When it comes down to it, no matter how much time she put in beforehand, no matter how hard she practiced, it had to have been a pretty scary feeling to step up onto that mound in front of all those people.

Unless you've got a belly full of margaritas, or course. Then it's gravy. Cheers, Chrissy.
