The guys real problem is he was throwing it with the wrong arm.

How hard is it to throw a baseball?
It depends on if you have the stress of 20k people watching you. |
Where's the video from a few years ago of the first pitch that nailed the photographer in the nuts?
I think Tom Brady threw out a first pitch a couple years ago. Tom's obviously got the arm and general athletic accuracy to throw just about any sort of ball. But there was video of even he practicing in the bowels of the stadium beforehand so that he wouldn't look like an idiot out there. Which of course he didn't. |
My dog could throw better than Fauci in that video. Catch a lot better, too.

Reading all these comments reminds me of the addage: "the older I get, the better I wuz"
I find myself in this category after a few beers... |
^^^^ I have no such delusions of grandeur tho' I wuz a one-pitch wonder... if I could only have mastered control of it. The slowest change up around... unhittable actually :D

i could throw a pitch. as long as i throw it at my speed it will go where i aim. try to put some juice behind it and all bets are off.
now put me in a stadium full of people hoping i choke it...i will choke it. |
No such thread can go without discussing one of the most incredible "First Pitch" moments:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bxR1tZ08FcI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> I just got fired up watching it again as I copied the embed code from youtube. As a New Yorker, and someone who briefly worked in the WTC, and with the Subway Series that year, this was an incredible moment. It was IMPORTANT that he threw a strike... and he did. |
Great vid, thanks for sharing!
