throwing out a 1st pitch

How hard is it for someone to actually throw a 1st pitch at an MLB game and it not be a laughable joke? 50 cent, Bob Costas, ect ect.
These mother frickers cant even get the ball to the plate. I just cant get over how absolutely spastic some of these personalities are. Throwing a baseball 60 ft is not hard. it just amazes me. Its not like they are being asked to dunk a basketball or break press coverage against Deoin Sanders. Its throwing a baseball.........ok end rant

I don't get it either...
Did none of these people play baseball even as a kid? Throwing a ball is like riding a bike. It blows my mind how few people can actually throw a baseball.

I can play catch all day long and never miss a beat...ask me to make a throw when it matters, such as when there are shite load of people watching before an MLB gam,e and I'd probably launch that thing in to the stands ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

I am starting to think these particularly bad ones are done on purpose for the cheap publicity.

Throwing a baseball is muscle memory. If you've never thrown one, you have no muscle memory of how to do it.
When baseball was an experimental sport in the Olympics the USSR hired an American minor league coach to develop a team. He was given a bunch of 18 to 20 year athletes who had never touched a baseball.
After a year he could not teach them to throw and they gave up.
