Is this allowed? We know that Bob Costas did the same exact thing recently. But if you throw a bad first pitch, should you really be allowed to throw another one to try and do better?
That's up for debate. But prior to a White Sox game earlier today, Joakim Noah threw a really crappy first pitch that bounced in front of the catcher and then ended up going by him. So the Bulls center asked for a second chance and….steeeeeee-rike! He threw his second pitch right over the plate.
It was a good second effort. We just don't know if Noah should have gotten another chance to throw his first pitch.
