The date was May 27, 2014. Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent was promoting his latest album and I’m guessing someone within his PR team thought it would be a good idea for him to throw out the first pitch before the Mets-Pirates game that night.
The lefty Curtis Jackson made such an awful throw that I’m not even sure if he was aiming at the catcher or the photographer he almost hit.
It’s been over three and a half years and 50 still gets taunted by people about this crime against our most beloved sport.
