White Sox employee's ceremonial first pitch goes hilariously awry

Take me out to the ball game? Maybe she should’ve stayed home.

Before the Chicago White Sox squared off against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, a White Sox employee of the month had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. But it quickly turned into viral infamy when her toss went awry.

Like, really awry.

Standing on the pitcher’s mound, the woman reared back and hurled her pitch directly at the photographer standing a few feet to her left, with the ball appearing to hit the camera.

The woman put her hands to her face and hunched over before running over to pick up the ball. She then put her arm around White Sox pitcher Evan Marshall — he was supposed to be her catcher — and flexed a muscle.

The White Sox didn’t divulge the woman’s name, but the photographer she hit is Darren Georgia, who later appeared on the team’s telecast of the game.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa (KCRG) - The White Sox and Yankees will stage the first-ever Major League game in the Hawkeye State at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, according to the MLB website.

It will be held Aug. 13, 2020 in a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark constructed in the corn on the Dyersville farm site where the film was staged.

It will start at 6 p.m. CST and will be broadcast nationally.

As a sport that is proud of its history linking generations, Major League Baseball is excited to bring a regular-season game to the site of Field of Dreams,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “We look forward to celebrating the movie’s enduring message of how baseball brings people together at this special cornfield in Iowa.”

that looks like a pretty involved complex for a 1 game deal ... so is everything going to go back to being a cornfield after the game?
