BOOOOOOOO: Machine Gun Kelly's First Pitch Was As Lame As It Gets

If you throw out a good first pitch, no one should know about it except for the people in the stadium. It's like landing a plane, you only hear about it when something goes catastrophically wrong. People find out about your first pitch when you ground an abysmal toss 10 feet in front of the plate, lob a ball into the back stop, or when you go politician mode and wear the jersey of a team you've never supported as they square off against the team that dictates your life and emotions. 

Machine Gun Kelly had the internet talking after he threw out the first pitch at a Cleveland Guardian's game, but instead of throwing one right over the plate, MGK launched the ball into the stands. 

Now, I want to hate on this buffet of bits with the whacky wind up and being kooky by slinging the ball into the stands, but apparently MGK signed the baseball and tossed it to a fan. I know what you're thinking, is anyone a MGK fan? There are more than you think. I'm even here to confess, I might be the biggest MGK fan on the planet. I used to be ashamed to admit it, but no longer am I afraid. 

I hated his rap career, but when MGK released his pop punk album a few summers ago, I was sold. It's like a Blink-182 album, if the Blink sang about popping percs. MGK even had Travis Barker do the drums for his album, so you're literally getting is 1/3 of the band Blink-182. It's all catchy as hell and worth checking out if you're a fan of pop-punk genre. 

But, honestly, this pitch might be lame, but it might be the way to go. If the pressure gets to you and you throw a terrible pitch, you live forever on the internet as the guy who bombed an opening pitch. When I think 50 cent, I think the rapper who got shot 9 times, and the guy who can't throw a baseball. 

After Grimace went out there and threw a solid ball while wearing a massive purple fury costume, the pressure has never been higher. If this monster that looks like Brett Favre's pud is out here slinging it, you're cooked if you can't bring the heat.

MJ could have taken notes from MGK. If you're considered the GOAT and one of the greatest athletes of all time, and you even quit basketball to go play baseball, a first pitch can only hurt you. 

While his music is sus, his black out tattoo stinks, and I'm not a fan of whacky bits at the ball park (looking at you Phillie Phanatic )… I guess this pitch isn't the worst of all time, and that's a win for the MGK camp.
