Rangers say Spieth threw 'hard strike,' Cubs say Johnson threw '95 on radar gun'; truth is victim
So, who won the ceremonial first-pitch challenge, Jordan Spieth or Zach Johnson?
We know who lost: The truth.
Zach Johnson, throwing out the first pitch at the Chicago Cubs game on Tuesday night, had issued a challenge to Jordan Spieth, who was doing likewise at the Texas Rangers game.
The Rangers via Twitter posted a brief video of Spieth and called it "a hard strike." Maybe a strike, but hard? Hardly.
The Chicago Cubs posted a photo of Johnson throwing the first pitch and said he "registered 95 on the radar gun." Guessing they transposed the 9 and the 5.
