Channing Frye’s first pitch at Indians game does not go well

Former Arizona Wildcats star Channing Frye is making the most of his new status as a retired professional athlete. For better or worse.

Frye, who retired in April after 14 NBA seasons, was recently in town to host his alma mater’s annual CATSYS student-athlete awards banquet, checking out some of his old haunts along the way. And on Sunday he got a chance to throw out the first pitch at a Cleveland Indians game, getting a warm welcome from fans who remember his contribution to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 NBA title.
