Prior to Thursday’s game between the Brewers and Cardinals, Michael Carter-Williams threw out the ceremonial first pitch. It was surely one he would like to have a second chance at.
Williams’ toss did not reach its intended target. It did, however, find an unsuspecting camera man who was on the field to record the pregame festivities.
With the game in Miller Park, the stomping grounds of Bob Uecker, this seems fitting.
We’ve seen some memorable (not necessarily in a good way) first pitches by basketball players in the past. Paul Pierce chuckled after his attempt prior to a Dodgers game in July. Nick Young airmailed one over Dee Gordon’s head last year. And, who can forget John Wall’s back in 2011.
Move over gentlemen, it’s time to make room for Michael Carter Williams at the table.
