America’s putting its two cents in to 50 Cent: Don’t quit your day job, buddy.
If you don’t believe that, then take a gander around the internet, where just about every publication under the sun – from People to Major League Baseball – is having a good chuckle at the rapper’s expense, all thanks to his horrendous first pitch at the New York Mets game the other night.
Yet, at this point, 50 could likely compete for a spot in New York’s bullpen.
50 Cent and Carly Rae Jepsen can make music, but they can’t throw a baseball
Certainly, TWHS is a tad late to the game, and I can’t even blame THE WIFE. Heck, upon seeing the headline, THE WIFE even blurted out, “Yeah, I saw that on People.com”.
That may have to lead to a quick and painless removal of my man card.
50 Cent’s gem – featured below – is appropriately coupled with Bob Uecker’s brilliant line from Major League.
The first pitch, in all its glory, is easily replacing the ugly past audible performances of the National Anthem. Yes, we’re talking about you, Roseanne Barr.
People would rather see a wild pitch than hear a screeching voice, and I can’t blame them.
But with as many bad ones as there have been over the years, which one is the worst of all?
I mean, the absolute WORST.
There are so many to choose from, so why not limit it down to three standouts, including the one recently thrown by 50 Cent? In addition, there is fellow musician Carly Rae Jepsen, and Baba Booey, executive producer of The Howard Stern Show.
First, Jepsen’s weak toss, thrown at a Tampa Bay Rays game last season:
If it ever reaches the plate, call me.
Maybe.
Now, onto Baba Booey’s first pitch, also thrown during a Mets game back in 2009. By the way, some people actually refer to him as Gary Dell’Abate.
Perhaps it’s just something that the Mets bring out of its fans and guests.
And players – double zing.
Enough clowning – which of the three is the ABSOLUTE WORST first pitch?

Oh, and my vote? It goes to 50 Cent, because the guy is ripped and clearly works out. One would think that he had some athletic ability. Apparently, he doesn’t work out using medicine balls. Otherwise, he might kill someone.
The others – Carly Rae and Baba Booey – get passes, because they more look the part.
Sorry guys, but it’s true.
Play ball…. and watch the heck out!

He was the next big thing until he saw the ” cheddar ” that Jay Z and De Dre were pulling down . Now his alleged estimated wealth ($200 million) isn’t even in their area code . Dre and Jimmy Iovine sold their Beatz audio company for over $3 billion to Apple and both are instant billionaires . Jigga and his wife, Beyonce , have an accumulated net worth of over $690 million . Need one say anymore on the matter ? Dre is still producing hit albums and Jay Z has his eye candy (Beyonce) and Blue Ivy .

Interesting considering when his first album came out, a lot of people thought that he would become the next big thing…
50 Cent’s acting career , much like his music career of late ought to be straight to the DVD market . Can’t put it anymore succinctly than that . He’s become a “lightweight” within the world of rap music . God , that particular genre at present is filled with homogenized bull#hit .
Hey, big zing on the Rays, REV!! Can we blame the Trop? We should try to, if anything.

Did you see that he’s going to be starring in a drama on Starz now? It’s crazy how well some of these careers pan out… he must have the right people surrounding him. Though, in the future, they may want to keep him away from sporting events.
At this point, my vote for worst starting pitch goes to the entire Tampa Bays rotation this season who simply can’t seem to put it together.
They could probably find a spot for Fitty in the bully somewhere.
Ugh!
It’s rumored that “Fitty ” will be now known by newly given name, Curtisina Jackson . Androgyny will be now , a part of his life .
