It’s a good thing Monique Evans is really, really hot. Because she definitely doesn’t have a career in athletics ahead of her.
Evans, who was crowned Miss Texas 2014, took to the mound in Arlington, Texas for the ceremonial first pitch before the Rangers-Angels game on Friday night and well … just watch the video above.
I don’t even know what is worse — her decision to throw it underhand? Her weird ballerina form? Or just dropping the ball period?
Evans was crowned Miss Texas on July 6 and is apparently a classically trained ballerina. That explains that weird decision, but not the underhand garbage. Come on, Monique.
Oh, and by the way, the 22-year-old is also pre-med at the University of Texas, so I guess she’s got the whole brains over brawn situation going for her too.
Evans admitted on Facebook her first pitch was a disaster, so at least she has a sense of humor about it. She wrote, “50 Cent the pressure is off now that I have thrown my 1st MLB pitch.”
She is, of course, referring to the rapper’s historically bad first pitch thrown earlier this year before a Mets game at Citi Field.
(I still enjoy Gary Cohen and Ron Darling’s dry commentary on that pitch, by the way.)
Follow Metro New York Sports Editor Mark Osborne on Twitter @MetroNYSports. He’s never thrown out a first pitch, but is confident he wouldn’t go with the underhand toss.
