Canadian singer prepares to kick off game, makes a fool of herself

It’s a good thing that Carly Rae Jepsen is sticking to music and not even considering going into sports, because she’d probably be terrible at it. Over the weekend, she kicked off a baseball game in Florida – and probably became the record holder for the world’s worst pitch.

You can see it in the video above, shot from various angles so you can appreciate its awfulness.

The irony is that, as the video says, Carly had actually managed to deliver a good shot in rehearsal throws before the game, so perhaps this was just a bad case of pre-game jitters.

Either way, she handled the entire thing with grace, laughing it off, even though she succeeded in hitting a nearby photographer and knocking the camera out of his hand.

“A before and after. Me taking the mound. Me knocking the camera out of the photographers hands with the baseball. And me getting a sympathy hug from the catcher. Omg,” Carly tweeted after the disastrous opening pitch.
