Conor McGregor shows off his pitching form at Wrigley Field
Ceremonial first pitches have a history of going shockingly well or surprisingly bad.
MMA star Connor McGregor's first pitch during Tuesday's Chicago Cubs game against the Minnesota Twins was no exception to that rule.
The Notorious MMA's time on the mound could have gone better -- to put it lightly.
McGregor stepped on the rubber stripe and appeared to be ready to deliver a solid pitch, but the ball sailed wide right and missed its intended target. By a lot.
His pitch drew comparisons to other less-than-stellar tosses.
