Actress Tea Leoni also shared her experience about that scene. In an interview with TVLine next day, Leoni confessed that it had been the second most terrifying day of her professional life. As she stated, she would rather have a root canal, naked, in Grand Central, than throwing that pitch.
Talking about the pitch, Leoni confronted that she threw this great, like, not a strike, but damn near, from the mound. She also said that it was very important for her as being the first female president. This baseball scenario will appear in the second episode of the sixth season.
