LOS ANGELES (Map, News) - Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, given a chance to make up for his errant ceremonial first pitch on Major League Baseball's opening day, delivered two more wobbly - but slightly better - pitches on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
Mallory's pitch in front of a sold-out crowd Monday at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati was way off target and made him the butt of jokes among some late night comedians. He made another poor throw in his first attempt on the set of Kimmel's show Wednesday.
With actor Kurt Russell as his catcher, Mallory tossed the ball into a cheering row of audience members, who were standing to his right and wearing batting helmets for protection.
"Come on. Give me that again," Mallory said, demanding one more try. His next pitch short-hopped the plate but earned him a round of applause.
