Cristiano Ronaldo Throws Wild First Pitch at Dodger Stadium, Gives Yasiel Puig No Chance to Snag Heater (Video)

Found July 31, 2013 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Cristiano Ronaldo,  Yasiel Puig
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
Cristiano Ronaldo threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night, but if he wanted to ensure accuracy to home plate, he probably should have kicked it. The Real Madrid star’s wild attempt could best be described as “just a bit outside,” and Yasiel Puig who was scheduled to catch the pitch, had no chance to corral it. Check out the pitch below, which is still better than Carly Rae Jepsen’s attempt. Filed under: Anna Fogel, Headlines, Los Angeles Dodgers, NESN Nation
