Now we know why basketball was Bill Walton’s sport.

The San Diego native threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Thursday’s Padres-Colorado Rockies game. The 7-footer’s throw was lacking in the accuracy department and went wide of home plate by several feet, even missing the batter’s box:

That wasn’t as bad as the brutal pitch we saw earlier this season at a White Sox game, but it wasn’t good. Walton should ask for a shot at redemption. There is no way the former NBA Finals MVP wants to go out like that.
