Vikings' J.J. McCarthy, Dallas Turner join list of worst celebrity first pitches

Our Summary
Minnesota Vikings' J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner made headlines with their poor first pitches at a Minnesota Twins game. Despite their football success, McCarthy's pitch sailed over the batter's box, while Turner's landed in the netting behind home plate. Although not as infamous as 50 Cent or Steve Aoki's throws, the Vikings rookies join a list of athletes with forgettable first pitches. While these mishaps may not predict their NFL performance, fans hope for better outcomes as McCarthy aims to replace Kirk Cousins and Turner fills in for Danielle Hunter.
