This Chart Suggests That 50 Cent's First Pitch Was Indeed The Worst Ever

Move over, President Obama You’re off the hook, John Wall Rapper 50 Cent has now taken the top spot for worst first pitch thrown out at a baseball game of all time.

Cent was throwing out the first pitch before Tuesday’s Mets-Pirates game, and his pitch was so bad that Bob Uecker’s “Juuuuuust a bit outside” line wouldn’t even apply. Video via @ ForbesToFederal Google+ That’s according to a highly unscientific study of first pitches we conducted at Wonkblog this morning. We watched a whole bunch of YouTube pitch videos and plotted them, to the best of our ability, across a strike zone diagram, using the tried-and-true “eyeballin’ it” method. You can see the results above. Whatever, the pitch was more Tommy Boy than Tommy John and the rapper has lost all street cred in my book. The pitch was so bad, though, it makes me think it might have been intentional. It HAD to be intentional.

Cent practically took over the internet when he misfired—to say the least—when throwing the opening pitch at the Pittsburgh Pirates-New York Mets game at Citi Field on Tuesday. The rapper and entrepreneur, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, launched a left-handed looper that sailed nearly 25 feet from Mets catcher Anthony Recker. People are saying it's the worst throw in the history of opening pitches. But is it really? Do you remember John Wall's throw that he pelleted into the dirt or the legendary first pitch by Baba Booey? We found some of the worst first pitches ever. We'll let you decide who tops the list.

Seriously, that was as atrocious as it gets. He definitely needs a makeup pitch. Like tomorrow. If there was any lingering doubt about baseball's decline in the inner city, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson ended the debate Tuesday night at New York's Citi Field with the most pathetic excuse for a first pitch I've ever seen.
