“I was always the best athlete. Something that nobody knew about me. …I was the best baseball player in New York when I was young. … But I also knew that it was very limited, because in those days you couldn’t even make a lot of money playing baseball. … Everybody wanted me to be a baseball player. But I was good in other sports too. I was good in wresting, I was very good at football. I was always the best at sports.”

I read the quote in your post just assuming it was a parody. I can't believe it's real, my god.

Trump may be a goddamn liar, but he can't lie to himself, so he KNOWS he'll get booed, which I'm sure keeps him up at night.
 
Yep.

And there's no way Trump would have been able to dodge a shoe like ole Dubya, thats for sure.

Dubya was a dick... But he handled that situation like a goddamn boss.

America needs to stop letting those boring fat guys play baseball. Get in on this comicbook shit. This would make me watch baseball.

You'd stop watching anyway when you realize none of that spinning flippy shit doesn't result in any additional speed or break or consistency and the pitchers either walk everyone or get hammered because they end up focusing on just trying to get the ball over the plate.

If we are doing throw gifs, let's do this shit proper. Thread was missing this one.

That looks fucking terrible, there's a very clear beat between her spinning around, and actually throwing the ball.

At least in the previous gifs they tried to make it seem like a single continous action.

New exercise aside from the thread poll...where on this chart would Trump's pitch end up at if he were to throw out the first pitch?

Clinton had the best pitch - right on the edge. Bush threw a meatball down the plate, that would have been crushed.

Fat guys pitching is what makes baseball great.

I don't wanna live on a planet where Bartolo Colon isn't pitching with jiggle and awkwardly trying to find seating arrangements for his other family.

Fifteen feet before the plate.

I honestly don't believe he could throw it the 45 or so feet from where they have the ceremonial pitch thrown.

Unlessed it bounced, Avril Lavigne was dusting the plate.

Lol Michael Jordan. Didnt he play AA? Was he drunk or something?

I guess Nolan Ryan is the most embarassing one.

There's no way he would get the ball anywhere near the plate. There's also no way he lets himself be seen in public wearing anything resembling baseball attire.

This isn't about his pitch it's about showing his face in public (real public not a rally of only supporters or on your private golf course), since his inauguration.

He can't take the fact that people really don't like him. His self awareness is horrible.

Those terrible pitch gifs are getting me surprisingly angry.

People who can't throw an object properly boggle the mind.

It's as easy as George W Bush makes it look.

Damn, Verne Troyer's arms are like 12 inches long and he's still schooling half the people in this pic.

this thread became a good thread.

some of those flippy gifs are straight out of anime, in fact, what was that Baseball anime, not new, this would be old because I saw it as a kid (like in the late 80s), where they had all sorts of special moves?

One guy hit the ball with the bottom of the bat for example.
