Video: Browns' Denzel Ward Throws 1st Pitch into Stands at Guardians vs. Mets Game

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward did his best Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn impression while throwing the first pitch before the Cleveland Guardians' 7-6 home win over the New York Mets on Tuesday.

A man of the people, Ward purposely threw the ball up and over the backstop, perhaps to give a souvenir to an unsuspecting fan.

In fairness to Ward, he's not a baseball player by trade. The former Ohio State star played football, track and basketball at Nordonia High School (Macedonia, Ohio) before moving to football full-time with the Buckeyes.
