Cardale Jones threw out the first pitch at an Indians game (Video)
Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones went back to his hometown over the weekend to throw out the first pitch at the Cleveland Indians game.
Jones is known for his big arm on the football field, but he showed that throwing a baseball accurately isn’t the easiest thing in the world.

His pitch, which he threw to Indians outfielder and OSU alum Nick Swisher, came in a bit high – but we’ve all seen first pitches go a lot worse.
Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer threw out the first pitch at a New York Yankees game last month that also came in above the strike zone.

It looks like Jones’ pitch had a bit more velocity on it.
