J.J. McCarthy’s bad first pitch at a Twins game might concern Vikings fans a little

OK, look, one first pitch at a baseball game should not make you worried about a quarterback’s skills, right?

But if you’re a Minnesota Vikings fan, this has got to concern you just a little, right?

Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy stepped on to the mound at Tuesday’s Minnesota Twins game against the Tampa Bay Rays and tossed the ceremonial first pitch very much outside of its intended target, all the way to the backstop.

To be fair, he is not a pitcher. But given that he throws things for a living, you might be nervous if you’re a Vikings fan, right?
