400-pound Baylor TE throws first pitch at Rangers’ game

We have all seen some pretty awful first pitches in recent years. Remember 50 Cent’s infamous flop on the mound that was described as “just a bit outside”? Or how about Carli Rae Jepsen’s pitch that made me 1. ashamed to be a Rays fan and 2. didn’t make me want to “call her maybe.”

Well, this pitch is not a terrible one, but it is memorable because it may be the largest person to ever throw one.

LaQuan McGowan: You guys know that name right? No? Well, Baylor fans certainly do.

McGowan is the 400-pound Bears tight end, yes tight end, that broke onto the national scene in the Cotton Bowl against the Michigan State Spartans in January.
