Arthur Green has lived quite a life. He's 106 years old. He served in World War II and the Korean War. He's also a lifelong baseball fan who moved to Baltimore when he was just four years old.

Arthur loves sports and never misses an Orioles game. So it was an honor for him to attend a recent game between the Orioles and Colorado Rockies -- and throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Onlookers marveled at Arthur's first pitch because he's very spry and youthful for his age.

The crowd was amazed as Arthur tossed the ball to The Oriole Bird -- the mascot for the baseball team.

His great grand-daughter Michele Fenn has a theory about his secret to success. "He will tell you he has many secrets for his long life but who really knows?" she said. "My theory is that he just doesn’t want to miss anything."
