Kay Adams joins list of terrible first pitches after her toss at Wrigley Field
By Tyler Reed

Kay Adams quickly became one of the most popular names in NFL sports media thanks to her role on NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football'.
Since leaving the network, Adams has found even more popularity in her show 'Up & Adams', where she continues to cover the game with the pigskin.

On Wednesday, Adams tried her hand at another sport, baseball. The NFL personality tossed out the first pitch at Wrigley Field before the Chicago Cubs took on the Cleveland Guardians.
Unfortunately for Adams, her first pitch will go down as one of the worst caught on camera. Take a look below:

It wasn't the best first pitch, but it was still better than Taylor Lewan's recent toss at a St. Louis Cardinals game, and 50 Cent's first pitch with the New York Mets.

The pitch will be memorable for all the wrong reasons; however, Adams' jersey choice rectifies the first pitch moment.

Adams repped a Henry Rowengartner jersey from the movie 'Rookie of the Year', which was about a kid living the dream of playing for an MLB team, with a laser rocket arm.
Adams' first pitch will get a pass in my book, because Rookie of the Year was an Oscar worthy film in my house growing up.
