Tokyo Governor Breaks Knee Throwing First Pitch at Baseball Game

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike fractured a bone in her knee after throwing out the first pitch at a Yakult Swallows baseball game when her foot slipped on the mound as the ball bounced its way to the plate.

Koike’s office said in a statement late Wednesday it would take her about two months to recover from the injury and the governor would work remotely for that time.
