Charlie Crist, Governor Of Florida, Throws Terrible First Pitch At Rays Game (VIDEO)

Before Game 2 of the American League Division Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers on Thursday night, Florida Governor Charlie Crist threw out the first pitch. Or, well, he tried to.

Crist threw the ball way outside, out of the reach of the catcher and the 35,535 people in Tropicana Field let out a loud groan of disappointment. That was the start of an awful night for Rays fans, who had to watch their team get shutout and lose 6-0.
