MLB Twitter roasts Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce for terrible ceremonial first pitch: "Easily the worst first pitch ever!" "Oh Trav buddy"

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Cleveland Guardians home opener, which was memorable. Unfortunately, it will not be forgotten for all the wrong reasons, as the ball seemed to drive straight into the ground. It was far from a strike, and MLB fans are making sure the Super Bowl champion doesn't forget about the blunder.

Travis Kelce is undeniably an elite athlete at the top of his game in the NFL, but couldn't master throwing out a simple pitch. Perhaps the moment got too big for him, since a Super Bowl could never be compared to the Cleveland Guardians' first pitch. There have been an immense amount of poor opening pitches throughout history, but this one may be the most surprising considering the thrower.

Pitching Ninja Rob Friedman expanded his typical duties and shared the footage of Kelce's pitch to Twitter.

When mainstream celebrities like Conor McGregor and 50 Cent throw out a bad first pitch, they are relatively expected. But football, especially on the Chiefs, features a fair amount of throwing. Even Travis Kelce's teammate Patrick Mahomes had something to say about this considering his baseball background.

The Kansas City Chiefs star won't be living this one down for awhile, especially since his team has seen it. He may be the best at his position in the NFL, but his poor showing from the mound will not be ignored. Maybe he'll get a chance to redeem himself at a different Guardians or Kansas City Royals game.

Travis Kelce has won two Super Bowl championships, broken records, and is a bonefide legend in his sport. However, that still didn't protect him from Twitter roasting him for this hilarious error. It says something about our society, I have no idea what it says, but it says something.

This will be far from the last opening pitch blunder in 2023, but it is the highest profile example of the year so far.

Why did Travis Kelce throw out the opening pitch for the Cleveland Guardians?

Kelce was born and raised in the state of Ohio and attended the University of Cincinnati. Needless to say, his ties to Ohio run deep and he is a lifelong baseball fan.

On this occasion, though, he probably should have let someone else throw out the pitch and avoided all this ridicule.
