Mets sign pitcher to a 50 Cent contract

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post/_/id/10992411/curtis-50-cent-jackson-throws-maybe-worst-first-pitch-ever

Look, we're not great athletes. That's why we're writing instead of competing.

But we -- meaning you, us, everyone -- surely could throw a better first pitch than the one tossed by rapper/business mogul Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson at the New York Mets' home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Right?

Just ... watch.

Keep in mind he hired a pitching coach weeks before to help him prepare.

when he said "I'm a hustler, not no damn ballplayer". He looked like he never played sports in his entire life!

Last week, rapper 50 Cent made headlines not for his music – but his lack of athletic skill, throwing the worst first pitch in the history of MLB (and, well, since the invention of baseballs). But there's a perfectly good explanation for the debacle, and, as A.V. Club notes, it involves a different manual activity.

"I have a skeletal muscle injury on my left shoulder from excessive masturbation so take it easy lol," the rapper wrote Wednesday in his Reddit AMA session promoting new album Animal Ambition....

LOLs aside, the rapper's struggles with masturbation appear to be semi-serious – at least, if a series of tweets dating back to 2012 is any indication. "Step 1. To avoid the urge to masturbate stop going to porn sites," he wrote, followed by three more bits of advice (including "Do not go to strip clubs&quot .
