Stephen A. Smith talked a lot of game about his first pitch before the New York Yankees’ game on Thursday night, and he didn’t disappoint.
And by that, I mean he didn’t disappoint all of us. Because he bounced the pitch to home plate, got booed and then spent much of Friday morning getting roasted by so many big names (and his own sister!) during First Take.
Yes, his sister Carmen was in on the roasting. But so was — in no particular order — Steve Harvey, Dan Orlovsky, Derek Jeter, Jay Z … you get the idea. It’s so, so funny.
Enjoy:
