7' 9" Olivier Rioux, center for UCI Men's Basketball, threw out the first pitch at the Angels-Cardinals game

It’s only fair to make him throw from 2nd

The Savannah Bananas could just replace the stilts guy with this man…

[u/Dexterspuplife → u/torero15]

Or just get him on the team on stilts to go even higher.

Need a banana for scale to see how tall he really is

[u/LilTemmy69]

Makes trout look like a kid insane

[u/Feisty_Relation_2359]

They have a guy eli chol too who is 7 foot. Idk if there's any world they get on the court at the same time, but that amount of size at uc irvine would be crazy

[u/countrybuhbuh → u/Feisty_Relation_2359]

They had mamadou (I know it's spelled wrong) a few years back. He was 7'6" if I remember.

[u/PaperBoiLA → u/countrybuhbuh]

I had a couple classes with him back in 2017-18 during my senior year there. Always felt bad for the dude having to duck underneath doorways and elevators to class. He was a pretty cool guys, but especially at parties people there treated him like a sideshow. Was hoping he’d do well in the nba but I’m not sure he made it out of the g league.

That’s much too tall. Illegal.

That kid's Mike Trout costume is insanely realistic, but his dad must've had him when he was really young!

[u/sun_not_cold]

Baseball has to feel like a table tennis ball to him.

[u/aknomnoms → u/sun_not_cold]

With that wingspan, I feel like he could launch a throw.

[u/LA-SKYLINE → u/aknomnoms]

He could hand the ball to the catcher at home while on the mound.

[u/Simple_Wash1618]

Even Jack Koch would look tiny next to him

[u/megabowa]

They should have given Olivier Rioux a Throwback Week Angels jersey!

[u/Long_Disaster_6847]

Baby Mike Trout

[u/Mean-Pizza6915]

He and Erica Weston don't even look like they're the same species.
