Baseball Doesn't Exist - Weirdest First Pitch Ever
In Japan, the Yokohama Bay Stars have a unique approach to first pitches by involving a comedy troupe. This season, they hired Egashira 250, who performed a series of comedic stunts. He ran onto the field with his jersey unbuttoned, attempted a headstand, and repeatedly tried to remove his pants, only to be stopped by masked individuals and the team mascot. Egashira then gave a speech to the team's best player, Shugo Maki, and continued his antics for five minutes before finally throwing a poor pitch. Despite the pitch's quality, he celebrated and continued his comedic routine, eventually being chased off the field by a cheerleader. This event raises the question of whether such entertaining first pitches should be adopted in America.
