Shabazz Napier threw out the first pitch at a Boston Red Sox game (VIDEO)

New York Yankees v Boston Red Sox

New York Yankees v Boston Red Sox

Shabazz Napier, star of the national champion UConn Huskies, threw out the first pitch at last night’s Red Sox game, and it turned out pretty well. I’m no baseball expert, but I’d say that’s a 50 mph two-seam fastball that caught a piece of the inside corner.

But here’s the problem: Shabazz just completed alienated half of the UConn fan base. Connecticut is split down the middle when it comes to New York teams and Boston teams, and the two sides don’t like each other all that much.

That said, he could probably still win if he ran for governor.
