It’s not every day you see a former NBA player trading in their basketball for a bat, but that’s exactly what happened when Kendrick Perkins was spotted taking some batting practice before the Braves-Red Sox game.
Perkins, known for his time in the NBA playing for teams like the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, was seen getting some swings in at the batting cages before the big game. And let’s just say, he looked like an amateur out there.
The former basketball star did his best with the bat, but couldn’t impress fans. Some say his batting practice was the worst.
Of course, fans couldn’t help but take notice of Perkins’ unexpected foray into baseball. Social media lit up with videos and photos of the big man knocking it out of the park even though it wasn’t impressive.
It’s always exciting to see athletes cross over into different sports, and Perkins’ batting practice session was no exception. Who knows, maybe we’ll see him suit up for a professional baseball team in the future. But for now, we’ll just have to enjoy the highlight reel of him taking on the batting cages.
