Pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen's first pitch goes terribly awry.

What do Mariah Carey, Carl Lewis, John Wall, Howard Stern producer Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate and Cincinnati mayor Mark Mallory have in common with Carly Rae Jepsen?
As of Sunday they are all pretty much tied for worst ceremonial first pitch of all time.
Decked out in a No. 8 Rays jersey, the "Call Me, Maybe" singer held on to the chunk of rawhide a bit too long and pounded her attempt right into the ground. The ball rolled slowly across the first base line, bouncing off a cameraman's bag.
Jepsen laughs it up with her catcher, Rays pitcher Matt Moore.
Jepsen reacted as only a pop princess could - she covered her face and giggled, finally throwing her hands up.
Oddly enough, Jepsen threw out a first pitch in Baltimore this season that was a strike.
Looks like this one, however, was a spike.
