Pitching in Space

The Yankees will have the first pitch at Wednesday's Red Sox matchup thrown from the International Space Station. As a space nut, I think that's really cool.

You would need some great command to hit the stadium from orbit.

Also have to take wind into consideration, various thermal drafts, etc. Plus a ball coming in from 200 miles up is going to be at terminal velocity. I hope whoever's catching has a little extra padding.
