JJ McCarthy throws brutal first pitch at Twins game |
Larry Brown Sports
![]() A humiliated McCarthy immediately began skipping off the mound as the ball sailed toward the backstop. McCarthy isn’t alone when it comes to embarrassing baseball moments. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Houston Texans QB CJ Stroud last month threw out a couple of underwhelming first pitches as well. But at least McCarthy didn’t make a bold claim about crossing over to MLB like Parsons recently did. The Vikings traded up in the 2024 NFL Draft to select McCarthy with the 10th overall pick. But despite Minnesota’s huge draft investment in McCarthy, the Vikings may not be willing to hand him the keys to their franchise just yet. |
