‘Maleficent’ Star Elle Fanning Beats 50 Cent’s First Pitch; Dakota Fanning’s Sister Puts Rapper’s Baseball Skills To Shame?
"Maleficent" star Elle Fanning beats out and 50 Cent's first pitch as Dakota Fanning's sister puts the rapper's baseball skills at the mound to shame.
Prior to throwing her first pitch, "Maleficent" star Elle Fanning told MLB: "I'm so nervous ... I guess if I s-t up, it'll be funny. But I wanna do a good job."
But the 16-year-old didn't have to worry as MailOnline reported that she managed a good showing and lobbed the ball overhead for the ceremonial pitch prior to the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox.
In the photos published by MailOnline, "Maleficent" star Elle Fanning is seen pumping her fists after her throw so she seemed to be happy with the results.
At least, the website said that she did better than 50 Cent's first pitch, which pundits claimed was the worst ever for celebrity guests.
The "In Da Club" rapper again explained his disastrous showing during a Reddit AMA session with fans, E! News reported.
"I have a skeletal muscle injury on my left shoulder from excessive masturbation so take it easy lol."
50 Cent's first pitch at Mets-Pirates game was dubbed the worst ever by an unscientific study conducted by The Washington Post's Wonkblog.
"We watched a whole bunch of YouTube pitch videos and plotted them, to the best of our ability, across a strike zone diagram, using the tried-and-true "eyeballin' it" method," Wonkblog's Christopher Ingraham wrote.
According to the study, the rapper was "indeed in a league of his own in terms of his ball's horizontal distance from home plate."
50 Cent's first pitch at Mets-Pirates game was even worse than Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian, or even mascots. "A lack of functional arms didn't stop T-Rex from outperforming the rapper," Wonkblog noted.
50 Cent posted a video on his Instagram along with the caption: "I'm a hustler not a Damn ball player."
"Don't talk about my pitch," he said then cursing the critics.
