NBA superstar Steph Curry threw out the first pitch ahead of an Oakland Athletics game. Doing so did not endear him to MLB fans. In the illustrious history of ceremonial first pitches, this will go down as a uniquely terrible one. Joining Steph on the mound was his wife, Ayesha Curry. The couple threw their pitches simultaneously. Both were terrible in their own way.

Jomboy Media posted a video of the pitches to Twitter. It did not do the Golden State Warriors star any favors.

Having two pitchers throw out the first pitch was a good idea in theory, but it proved to only double the hilarity.

This was a very human moment from the best shooter in the NBA. It showed that he isn't the best at everything.

Even the best shooter in the NBA wasn't able to throw a strike that any MLB player could make look routine. This is no knock against Curry, who has clearly excelled in his chosen field. It does show how different the two sports are and that the skills are not transferrable.

We have seen other NBA stars like Donovan Mitchell take part in batting practices this season, but Mitchell has a baseball background.

Steph Curry took part in a batting practice of his own, but looked far more like an NBA player than an MLB one. A video of the batting practice was posted to Twitter by NBC Sports.

Fans of the Golden State Warriors were very happy to see the Currys at the Athletics game, showing their support. The Warriors moved from Oakland to San Francisco in 2019. Seeing that he still has connections to the city he played in for so long is a good sign.

Getting MLB and NBA fans to agree on anything is nearly impossible, but Steph Curry managed it. With two simultaneously bad opening pitches, fans of every sport had something to say.
