Former athletes throwing out first pitches can usually go two ways: really bad or decent enough to not get a blog post written about them. This one happens to be the former. Unfortunately it involves someone who I'm a huge fan of in Steve Francis, former Houston Rockets guard. The electric guard was a star at the University of Maryland before crossing over to the NBA to play for Houston, so he had connections to both the Orioles and Astros at last night's game.

Here's the pitch:

It's not as bad as 50 Cent's first pitch, but it's still not a good look for Stevie Franchise.
