97.1 The Ticket -- There have been tons of terrible ceremonial first pitches over the years.

We have a newcomer to the worst of the worst.

A woman, who was apparently the White Sox organization's employee of the month, according to Twitter, let one get away from her, and it pegged a photographer who was up close trying to get that perfect shot of her throw.

He took one to the chest instead.

Let's just say there was some shaky command on tonight's ceremonial first pitch at Guaranteed Rate Field.#Royals | #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/c3YT5YsH3o

At least the guy was a good sport about it:

This happened just one day after the five-year anniversary of rapper 50 Cent's infamous blunder on the mound. Where does this one rank among like likes of 50 Cent, Carly Rae Jepsen and a Red Sox fan who hit a photographer in a "sensitive area" for the worst first pitches of all time?

5 years ago today, 50 Cent threw a bad first pitch.Like, real bad.https://t.co/bcdW8k44tl pic.twitter.com/zNtSslvAXt
