Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love showed some appreciation for another Wisconsin professional sports team, but fans criticized his effort.
Love arrived to American Family Field in Milwaukee to throw out the first pitch at a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game on Memorial Day against the Boston Red Sox.
But the quarterback’s attempt at tossing the perfect pitch didn’t come to fruition.
To his credit, Love’s throw did make it the whole 90 feet from the mound to the plate.
The only issue was the toss was very high – to the point where it left the frame of the camera – and forced catcher Christian Yelich to stand up and reach to grab it.
Plenty of NFL fans mocked Love for his poor effort – with many making fun of his accuracy.

Unfortunately, his toss in to Christian Yelich (L) was too high and got mocked by the fans
Love and the Packers made the playoffs last year, losing to the eventual champion Eagles
‘Any time the ball leaves the frame it’s not great,’ wrote The Athletic’s Packers beat writer Matt Schneidman.
‘Watching athletes from other sports try and throw a baseball for forever make me cringe. Expected more from a QB,’ said one fan.
‘This is pretty brutal from a QB,’ a different fan pointed out. Another remarked, ‘About as accurate as his average throw.’
One fan joked, ‘I think Carly Rae Jepsen had a better first pitch’ – referring to the pop superstar’s rough first-pitch attempt.
Love will hope that his throws in the NFL season will be much more accurate than this one.
Last year, Love and the Packers went 11-6 and made the playoffs. They lost to the eventual Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wild Card round.
