Let’s just say that the Round Mound of Rebound was never going to be a guy in pursuit of a two-sport career.

Complete with a Chicago Cubs’ hat and a jersey that appeared to be bursting at the seams, Barkley toed the rubber on the pitching mound itself for his effort. Complete with some version of a windup, Barkley attempted his first pitch.

Among other things, it appeared that a lack of a follow-through created problems for Barkley. Hey, at least this isn’t as ugly as the guy’s golf swing, right?

Check out video of Barkley’s first pitch below:

Seriously though, we couldn’t find him a bigger Cubs jersey to wear?
