Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Cleveland Guardians home opener, which was memorable. Unfortunately, it will not be forgotten for all the wrong reasons, as the ball seemed to drive straight into the ground. It was far from a strike, and MLB fans are making sure the Super Bowl champion doesn't forget about the blunder. Travis Kelce is undeniably an elite athlete at the top of his game in the NFL, but couldn't master throwing out a simple pitch. Perhaps the moment got too big for him, since a Super Bowl could never be compared to the Cleveland Guardians' first pitch. There have been an immense amount of poor opening pitches throughout history, but this one may be the most surprising considering the thrower.Pitching Ninja Rob Friedman expanded his typical duties and shared the footage of Kelce's pitch to Twitter.Rob Friedman@PitchingNinjaTravis Kelce, Dirty First Pitch. 54" inches of drop...and nearly kills Shane Bieber. 1951159Travis Kelce, Dirty First Pitch. 😨54" inches of drop...and nearly kills Shane Bieber. 😂 https://t.co/fWjiQgcbb6When mainstream celebrities like Conor McGregor and 50 Cent throw out a bad first pitch, they are relatively expected. But football, especially on the Chiefs, features a fair amount of throwing. Even Travis Kelce's teammate Patrick Mahomes had something to say about this considering his baseball background.Patrick Mahomes II@PatrickMahomesAyyyyyy bruhhhhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @tkelce twitter.com/bleacherreport…Bleacher Report@BleacherReportTravis Kelce's first pitch was a bit short (via @PitchingNinja)10322892Travis Kelce's first pitch was a bit short 😂(via @PitchingNinja)https://t.co/OZnLDRBF6aAyyyyyy bruhhhhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣 @tkelce twitter.com/bleacherreport…Dustin Kendrick@D_Kendrick633Easily the worst first pitch ever! twitter.com/pitchingninja/…Rob Friedman@PitchingNinjaTravis Kelce, Dirty First Pitch. 54" inches of drop...and nearly kills Shane Bieber. 1966159Travis Kelce, Dirty First Pitch. 😨54" inches of drop...and nearly kills Shane Bieber. 😂 https://t.co/fWjiQgcbb6Easily the worst first pitch ever! twitter.com/pitchingninja/…Fulton Caster@FultonCasterOh Trav buddy twitter.com/pitchingninja/…Rob Friedman@PitchingNinjaTravis Kelce, Dirty First Pitch. 54" inches of drop...and nearly kills Shane Bieber. 1967159Travis Kelce, Dirty First Pitch. 😨54" inches of drop...and nearly kills Shane Bieber. 😂 https://t.co/fWjiQgcbb6Oh Trav buddy twitter.com/pitchingninja/…The Kansas City Chiefs star won't be living this one down for awhile, especially since his team has seen it. He may be the best at his position in the NFL, but his poor showing from the mound will not be ignored. Maybe he'll get a chance to redeem himself at a different Guardians or Kansas City Royals game.Del™@Del__Computerz@PitchingNinja Gronk would never miss the zone that badly2@PitchingNinja Gronk would never miss the zone that badlyannoying dodger fan@dodgersbetter@PitchingNinja @BeanieLeBron But baseball is easy to play right ??? 🤣🤣1@PitchingNinja @BeanieLeBron But baseball is easy to play right ??? 🤣🤣Robert Toub@toub_robert@PitchingNinja @kent_swanson Stick to football Travis @PitchingNinja @kent_swanson Stick to football Travis 😂Travis Kelce has won two Super Bowl championships, broken records, and is a bonefide legend in his sport.

Needless to say, his ties to Ohio run deep and he is a lifelong baseball fan.On this occasion, though, he probably should have let someone else throw out the pitch and avoided all this ridicule.
