they dont throw it to firstbase because he gets the ball on every infield play and he starts the throw around when there is an out at first. also its to keep the infieldrs arms loose and to stick it to the other team that u just struck them out

Some say its is to keep the other infileders arms warm because they handle the ball less than the first basemen. Others say it is tradition, and that baseball players are so superstitous, they wont break the tradition for fear of bad luck. Your guess is probably as good as mine.
