Michael Jackson’s kids Paris, Prince and Blanket threw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game in Gary, Ind., along with MJ’s sister La Toya.

The King of Pop’s three children made the trip to their father’s hometown on Thursday to celebrate what would have been Michael Jackson’s 54th birthday.

Prince Michael, 15, Blanket, 10, and Paris Jackson, 14, each took the mound to kick off the Gary Southshore Railcats baseball game. Check it out:

“We’re here in Gary, and it’s a new experience for us. People are so nice here,” Prince said. “It’s amazing how much he was respected and loved.”

Everywhere they go, the three kids inspire nothing but the same feelings as people see how well-adjusted and nice they are – despite all they’ve been through.

MJ would be proud.
