I just happened to play a pitching type game over the weekend. I can just say that, if you've never really thrown an overhand pitch, you have this mental idea of what the ball is going to do when it leaves your hand. Also as an adult male, you want to have a respectable amount of velocity on the pitch. Those two things combined will have you looking really bad if you don't practice at all. The ball is NOT going to do what you think it's going to do. By and large most Black people aren't playing baseball recreationally, so it's always going to be an adventure when you see a famous brother throwing out the first pitch.
Snoop Dogg threw the first pitch like a b*tch

This is very try. On a episode of Dodgers Backstage. Nick Young was warming up to throw the first pitch. And the players were laughing at him and because he kept tossing it in the air like a one handed jumper. I guess that was his way of hiding from the fact that he didn't know how to throw a baseball.
This is an athlete y'all

Cube did a good job

You can’t see me!
Celebs screw the first pitch for the same reason I've never seen this clip of Cube throwing a good one. People doing good isn't news. Not in America.
It is true. There are several articles you can google that talk about trying to get Black people interested in the game of baseball again. In 1986 Blacks made up 19% of the MLB. In 2015, just 7.8%.

snoop was born in 1970's though
This is MY truth...
In my neighborhoods as an OG I do remember baseball being active in hoods and little leages and police athletic leages for the kids duruing the 80s
But by the 90s sponsors for little leagues and the lack of funding for P.A.L (police athletic league) went ghost and the $$$ instead went into AAU youth for basketball and youth football leagues which were basically FARM TEAMS for the high school...college and eventually pros.
Pros MLB found it cheaper to invest in DOMINICAN kids overseas then develop and market b baseball to american blacks

You said it yourself, he was hooping, so you agreed.

Simple. When was the last time these celebs or the average person picked up a baseball? And of those who have, how many have thrown one 60 feet 6 inches in distance? Add the pressure of standing out on the mound all alone, result is usually not so good.
