rofl that is really horrible... in a funny way

If I were ever invited to throw out a first pitch in a MLB stadium, I damn well would practice a lot for days beforehand..... not that I expect to have that opportunity!

I used to play in numerous leagues in softball.

Usually catcher or 1st base.

Had a pretty accurate arm.

At 37, I finally quit my last team.
Ten years later, at a carnival, I do a throwing game.
I thought everything would be near the same.
After 3 throws I was wondering whose arm I had on, cause it sure didn’t FEEL like mine.

The old familiar feel wasn’t there.
No matter how I concentrated on the throw, the mechanics weren’t there.

After 6 balls, I felt my shoulder and elbow were trying to pull themselves apart.

If I ever were to throw a pitch at a game, I think I’d start throwing 2 weeks ahead of time.
15-20 feet to start
