Batter Up: 50 Celebrities Throwing Out The First Pitch At Baseball Games

Tonight, the best players in Major League Baseball will face off against one another in the league's annual All-Star Game. While there will likely be plenty of fastballs and homeruns on display during the Midsummer Classic, we here at VH1 Celebrity had an idea that might help improve the chances that a non-sports fan would tune-in to the game. What if the commissioner introduced a new idea wherein celebrities would throw out the first pitch of every inning, not just a single one before the game started? (We know, we know, it's a genius idea.)

While that idea (probably?) won't be implemented this year, here's hoping that Bud Selig sees this post and makes this change in time for next year's affair. In the meantime, please check out this hilarious gallery of celebrities —including the likes of Mariah Carey, Barack Obama, Bill Murray, Charlie Sheen and current holder Worst First Pitch Ever™ title holder Carly Rae Jepsen --- winding up and attempting to throw a baseball 60 feet and 6 inches.
