Dirk Nowitzki
Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki took the mound at a Rangers game where he jokingly tossed a basketball to then Texas Rangers third-basemen Michael Young, before actually throwing in the baseball. Let’s just say they should’ve let the basketball attempt count instead because, with the baseball Young had to make a leaping catch so the ball didn’t go into the backstop and hit the press behind him.
Dirk also made another appearance on the mound during the Cardinals/Rangers World Series game three, and we’re pretty sure he had been practicing, because this attempt was much better as he actually threw a strike.
