Looks like 50 Cent's got company in the embarrasingly bad first pitch realm. 

Miss Texas Monique Evans took to the mound during the Angels-Rangers game at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, on Friday.

And while Evans sported her pageant crown and cut a unique acrobatic figure (a la gymnast McKayla Maroney a couple weeks earlier), the beauty pageant winner left a whole lot to be desired with this underwhelming underhanded gutter ball of a pitch, prompting the broadcaster to announce it "juuust a bit outside." 

Evans defended herself on her Facebook page, saying that her headgear made her strike out with this limp noodle of a toss: "I can blame mine on the crown #beautyqueen #ballerinapitcher #betterthan50Cent#blameitonthecrown"

Heavy, indeed, is the head that wears the crown. Though congeniality points for affably laughing it off. 

H/t FTW.
