Send this first pitch straight to the Hall of Fame
If there’s a wing in the Baseball Hall of Fame for ceremonial first pitches, this one should bypass the five-year waiting period and go straight in. Before a Red Sox-Cardinals game Wednesday night, a Massachusetts teenager’s effort missed the strike zone — but hit an unlucky photographer in the man zone.
Where’s Bob Uecker to say “Juuuust a bit outside” when you need him? Actually, as some noted, part of the hilarity of the moment was that, before the pitch, the Fenway Park announcer encouraged the teen to “fire it in there.”
