ICYMI: Miss Texas With Worst 1st Pitch Ever This Month

((ht: mlb.com))

Okay, so we are starting to wonder if maybe there should be some sort of test given to people before they allow someone to throw out the 1st pitch at a baseball game.

And yeah, we get it, most people aren't great athletes and throwing a strike from 60 feet, 6 inches distance isn't as easy as you think.

But the spate of scary and sometimes funny 1st pitches continues. And yes, we suppose it does keep providing sites like ours fresh material.

Check out what happened Friday night when Miss Texas, Monique Evans, made the ceremonial attempt at the Texas Rangers/LA Angels game.

We're trying really hard not to laugh as she kind of rolls the ball in the general direction of home plate.

But alas, the crown stayed on and the smile never left her face--

The Dude Abides: Jeff Bridges Rolls 1st Pitch at Dodgers Game

((ht: mlb.com))

If you've seen the movie "The Big Lebowski" then you get the reference in the headline and you'll get this video.

Check out Jeff Bridges, Academy Award winning actor, known to many as "The Dude" from the Big Lebowski.

The Dude threw out the first pitch at Friday's Los Angeles Dodgers/Chicago Cubs game.

Only he didn't throw it.

Bridges went through a windup, then ran up and rolled the ball to the plate like he was bowling.

Again, if you've seen the movie, you know why this was very cool....and very funny..

105-Year-Old Throws First Pitch

((HT: MLB.com))

It would be 60 years before the San Diego Padres even had a game in town, but that was when Oceanside, California's Alice McKee was born. She got to throw out the first pitch for the team yesterday...

And we appreciate the idea that she went with the natural arm motion


The Padres need her in the pen after they got rid of Huston Street, though...
