Although it was not a strike, Megan&#8217;s pitch was better than many other celebrities&#8217; attempts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci. In a clip shared by ESPN, the rapper appeared at the Minute Maid Park in Texas to throw the ceremonial pitch, wearing an Astros jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Megan stepped on the pitcher&#8217;s mound, posed for the camera, and threw the baseball. Although it missed the batter&#8217;s box, Megan&#8217;s pitch traveled the length of the field and reached home plate. Her pitch was definitely better than some other infamous pitches celebrities have made, including a disastrous one by Dr. Anthony Fauci in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, rapper 50 Cent also had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial pitch at Citi Field for the New York Mets, but his pitch missed the box by a significant margin.<\/p>\n<p>One celebrity who set the gold standard for ceremonial first pitches was former President George W. Bush, who donned a FDNY jacket and threw a perfect strike across the plate at Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium in New York City, following the September 11 attacks in 2001, providing much-needed morale boost to the country.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Megan Thee Stallion&#8217;s pitch was a strong effort and celebrated by her hometown crowd. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superstar Megan Thee Stallion stepped out to throw the opening pitch in her hometown of Houston on Thursday, and while it wasn\u2019t a strike, it was better than many other celebrities\u2019 attempts \u2014 namely Dr. Anthony Fauci\u2019s.
