In 2014, during a Major League Baseball game between the New York Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates, rapper 50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson) took the mound for a ceremonial first pitch that would live in meme infamy. Clad in a Mets jersey, the hip-hop mogul wound up for the throw, only to release the ball significantly early, sending it flying wildly to the left and nearly hitting a photographer. The catcher, Anthony Recker, could only watch in confusion as the ball skipped away, leaving 50 Cent laughing at his own spectacular lack of accuracy. This clip has become the ultimate visual metaphor for representing total failure or missing the mark by a massive margin. It is commonly used as a reaction video for situations where someone attempts to look professional or cool but fails at a fundamental task. Whether it's missing a deadline, failing a test, or a disastrous attempt at flirting, the 'Worst Throw Ever' perfectly encapsulates the feeling of 'swinging and missing' on a grand scale. Example caption ideas include: 'Me trying to handle my adult responsibilities like...', 'My bank account trying to survive the weekend', and 'When you try to slide into the DMs and fail miserably.'
