It couldn’t have been worse.
No really!
The first pitch at the Red Sox game didn’t go according to plan as un unsuspecting photographer was hit in an unpleasant area on national television.
Jordan Leandre, who is actually a pitcher on his high school varsity baseball team, let the pressure get to him as he completely overthrew the pitch to nail the photographer. Leandre, who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, was given the opportunity to throw out the first pitch after becoming cancer-free.
Well… that didn't go so well ⚾️ pic.twitter.com/625B0M2IZU #MLB #RedSox

At least he was able to laugh all about it on social media.
Yikes…

To make matters worse, I'm a pitcher ??♂️

As for the photographer, yeah, he’s probably going to be having a lot of flashbacks for the next little while.
My camera man @TonyCapobianco is the poor guy that took that first pitch in the McNuggets. Here's his view of it coming in. pic.twitter.com/NVD70hiIn2

Leandre’s pitch makes a great case for the worst pitch of all time. Who could forget 50 Cent’s first pitch, or NBA first round draft pick Josh Jackson’s horrible throw?
