I'm guessing this Carton highlight reel encouraged the high ranking.

Parris Campbell threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Cincinnati Reds.

Former @OhioStateFB and projected first round pick @PCampbell21 threw out today's first pitch!

Good Luck, Parris! #OH pic.twitter.com/L4ns57SHRU

The Cleveland Indians wanted in on the action and it looks like Campbell felt the same way.

Tweet of the Week:

The Columbus Blue Jackets are up against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who just completed one of the best regular seasons in NHL history, in the first round of the playoffs. So, when the Tampa Bay was up 3-0 in the first period, Sam decided to make a promise.

If the Blue Jackets come back to win this game, I will tattoo the @1stOhioBattery emblem on my ass. #CBJ

Unfortunately (or fortunately, go Blue Jackets after all) for him, Columbus came back to win 4-3 in one of the most thrilling games of the year. At this point, Sam knew he messed up.
