Mike Tyson pretends to bite Tony Sanchez's ear (Video)

Retired heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Thursday night's Pittsburgh Pirates game. Tyson threw a high strike to Pirates catcher Tony Sanchez, then posed with Sanchez for a few photos. During a couple of them, Tyson pretended to bite Sanchez's ear, an obvious reference to that infamous Evander Holyfield fight from years ago. Not sure how funny Holyfield will find this.

The Pirates gave Tyson a custom number 20 jersey with "Iron Mike" on the back. Tyson was 20 years old when he became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in history.
