When it comes to sports stars stepping into the world of baseball, the first pitch is a rite of passage that can either make or break their reputation. And so, when Myles Garrett, the new Rams defensive end, took to the mound at Chavez Ravine, the eyes of sports enthusiasts were fixed on his every move.
The pressure was on, as the first pitch is a high-stakes moment. Do it right, and you're just another athlete; do it poorly, and it becomes a viral sensation, a meme, and a constant reminder of that one time you didn't quite make the cut.
But Garrett, with his confident stride and a strike that had some serious heat, proved he was more than just a football player. He delivered a pitch that would make any baseball player proud.
