Monday evening, 23-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps threw out the first pitch at the Arizona Diamondbacks’ postseason game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Phelps wore No. 23 to coincide with his number of Olympic golds, and he delivered a pitch over the plate.

Before he threw the pitch, Phelps engaged in a secret handshake with Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta.

Phelps has long professed himself a Baltimore Orioles fan, but he has taken an interest in Phoenix-area sports as well since moving to the desert in 2015.

The Diamondbacks ended up losing the game 3-1, and they were eliminated from the postseason.
