Tampa Bay Storm head coach and general manager Tim Marcum took some time Tuesday afternoon to take part in one of the biggest high school events in the local community.

Marcum was at Brandon High School to throw out a ceremonial first pitch before the East Bay-Freedom matchup in the 29th annual Tony Saladino Tournament, the premier high school baseball event in the area.

Marcum, who like everyone else associated with the Arena Football League, remains in limbo as the AFL tries to come up with a better business model to get the league back on track. The 2009 AFL season was suspended a few months ago pending a new economic structure being formed.

As for the pitch, it wasn’t bad. A little low, but much better than some of the others who have done so during the tournament.

The announcer deemed it “A Storm-ing Success.”
