Recently retired Cavaliers forward Channing Frye had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Sunday's game between the Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners at Progressive Field.

At least Frye had a good sense of humor about his embarrassing throw, offering several excuses on Twitter afterward.
