John Wall "threw out the first pitch" before tonight's Nationals-Orioles game at Nationals Park. Video above. Link here.
The "pitch" made it, oh, maybe 35, 40 feet? And with that, John Wall has entered the pantheon of worst ceremonial first pitchers in the history of ceremonial first pitches. Was Wall's effort the worst first pitch ever? Or at the very least: worse than Caron Butler at RFK in 2007?
(H/T reader "sharkattack" for link to video clip from a TV.)

True, Deadeyedick, but at least Wall wasn't wearing mom jeans!
