And Now For Something Completely Different …

Here at Baseball is Fun, we are no stranger to unique first pitches. In just under a year, we’ve watched Jim Harbaugh surprise us, Japanese baseball terrify us, an athletic 92-year-old wow us, and a gymnast impress us with their personal renditions of the perfect first pitch. 

Today, you can watch human and canine act Christian and Scooby (I’m guessing Scooby is the dog, but who really knows anymore) confuse us with their idea of how a first pitch should look.

Want to come watch some more baseball – The White Sox, probably. 

I, uh, don’t have much more to add to that, because how could I? I just thought it was something you needed to see. So, uh, there you go! Ta-da! The post is over now.
