VIDEO: Texas A&M basketball coach throws ceremonial 1st pitch, slips, recovers

Throwing the first pitch at an MLB game can be intimidating, just ask Texas A&M women's basketball coach Gary Blair.

Blair was on hand for Thursday's "Texas A&M Night" at Globe Life Park in Arlington, and nearly delivered a first pitch for the ages after slipping on the mound.

The coach blames the stumble on the new tennis shoes he's wearing in the following clip:

Blair's nimble recovery saved him from a long list of first-pitch fails over the years. Rapper 50 Cent still takes the cake with his wild toss from last season in New York:
