Gabby Giffords Throws First Pitch At Congressional Women's Softball Game
Once again Giffords shows us just how far she has come since being severely injured in a shooting that claimed six lives in 2011.

After showing us all how it's done, she took time to make fun of 50 Cent's horrible first pitch at last month's Mets game:
