Joey B Baby and the “B” stands for baseball??
NFL superstar Joe Burrow isn’t just great at throwing the pigskin — the Bengals QB took the mound to throw the first pitch at the Reds’ Opening Day game … and it was a strike right down the middle!!
The AFC champ was a VIP guest at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati on Tuesday … meeting and hanging out with Joey Votto and others before the Reds’ matchup against the Cleveland Guardians.
But, it was #9 who displayed his skills first … as he took the mound to throw the ceremonial toss, with Bengals head coach Zac Taylor lined up behind the plate as his catcher.
Joey looked calm as ever as he prepared for the throw … and naturally, it was a perfect strike.
The crowd, of course, cheered for their QB … after all, the dude’s got the whole city in the palm of his hand after taking the Bengals to the Super Bowl in just his second season in the league.
Notoriously bad first pitch participants like 50 Cent and Conor McGregor should pay attention to the footage very closely … as they could learn a thing or two from Burrow.
