<p>He might be able to throw a punch, but he sure can&#8217;t throw a baseball.</p>
<p>UFC star fighter Conor McGregor threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley Field on Tuesday before a game between the Chicago Cubs and the Minnesota Twins. To say he missed the strike zone would be a gross understatement.</p>
<p>McGregor, wearing a tight blue-checked suit, threw the pitch at least 20 feet to the right, hitting a small retaining wall. The ball careened to the other side of home plate, forcing the catcher to run to retrieve it.</p>

<p>Said Yahoo: &#8220;What&#8217;s wild about McGregor&#8217;s first pitch (besides the pitch itself) is that we already knew he wasn&#8217;t much of a thrower, and yet he thought that this sport might be different. McGregor drew chuckles in 2018 when he met up with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&amp;T Stadium, which led to someone putting a football in his hands. The resulting throw resembled a shot put more than what you usually see from a quarterback.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Conor McGregor’s form may not work for throwing a football but we can confirm that it works for launching a <a href="https://twitter.com/MonsterEnergy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MonsterEnergy</a> can at <a href="https://twitter.com/NateDiaz209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NateDiaz209</a> <a href="https://t.co/q2Cm28txI4">pic.twitter.com/q2Cm28txI4</a></p>

<p>So we suggest McGregor stick to throwing punches.</p>
<p>Little does he know that he has forever joined an elite club of people who have thrown terrible first pitches.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Anthony Fauci</strong></p>
<p>The nation&#8217;s top immunologist attended the Washington Nationals vs. New York Yankees in 2020 (when he was famously photographed with his mask down below his nose).</p>
<p>Fauci, who was a member of then-President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force, took to the mound to kick off a pandemic-marred baseball season. But the 79-year-old wound up and fired the ball &#8212; missing the strike zone by at least 10 feet, the ball even falling short of the dirt around home plate.</p>

<p><strong>50 Cent</strong></p>
<p>The rapper oozes confidence in everything he does, but he didn&#8217;t acquit himself well when he took the mound in 2014 for a New York Mets vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game.</p>
<p>Like McGregor, he missed the plate by a mile, only to the left. He nearly hit a photographer with the wayward toss but laughed it off, breaking into a wide smile. Little did he know that he&#8217;d made the list and the clip would be played for years.</p>

<p><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></p>
<p>The Greatest Of All Time in the NBA, Jordan was also a solid baseball player, playing both sports professionally.</p>
<p>But when Jordan took to the mound at Wrigley Field to throw to slugger Sammy Sosa in 1998 &#8212; while wearing a Sosa jersey &#8212; his throw wasn&#8217;t close, soaring way over the head of the catcher.</p>

<p><strong>Carly Rae Jepsen</strong></p>
<p>The “Call Me, Maybe” singer had thrown a strike for the first pitch at a Baltimore Orioles game in the 2013 season. But her second first pitch attempt later that year in a game between the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Houston Astros is the one everyone will remember. Jepsen wound up just fine &#8212; then threw the ball directly into the ground about 10 feet in front of her.</p>
<p>https://twitter.com/kroos_nico/status/1285736648316248064</p>
<p><strong>Baba Booey</strong></p>
<p>No list would be complete without the pitch by Gary Dell’Abate, longtime producer for &#8220;The Howard Stern Show.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the 2009 game between the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates, Booey didn&#8217;t just miss the plate, he actually hit the home-plate umpire, who was standing off to the side, right in the chest. And for more than a decade, Stern has never let him forget the moment.</p>
