Fan throws very wild first pitch, hits photographer right in his family jewels area.

Fortunately, the photographer is ok and is now laughing about it online, where he is a new celebrity.

Some of the 1967 Red Sox team behind him. Could see some of them start chuckling.

No-win situation. Put it over or near the plate, and very few will remember. Be wild, and it’s on Youtube forever.

Why would you not at least practice before going out and making an ass of yourself.

The back story is that exactly 10 years before, he was seven and a cancer survivor, and as part of the Jimmy Fund drive he threw out the first pitch and then, on his own, ran the bases, to cheers from the crowd. It was a heart warming moment.

Now he is a pitcher on his high school baseball team, and he was invited to relive the moment on the final day of this years Jimmy Fund game. (Maybe if he hadn’t hit the photographer, he would have run the bases again.)

It was the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the “impossible dream” team from 1967. It was the second game of a two game series with the St. Louis Cardinals, their 1967 WS opponents, so a bunch of the old timers were there to celebrate.

So it was not just any ceremonial first pitch, but an especially prominent one.

Nothing could be as lame as when Kerry threw out the first pitch

While the first pitch incident was cringeworthy (if hitting a journalist in the balls could be considered such) the story of this young man is truly inspiring. Diagnosed with a rare cancer at age three...

Not someone to laugh at, but someone to celebrate.
