Bruce Willis gets booed for throwing a baseball poorly, boosts non-celebrity egos worldwide

Celebrities live such a idyllic existence that they appear, at times, to actively seek out embarrassment. Consider anyone who agrees to play late night talk show games with Corden or Fallon, having already fulfilled their promotional duties with a straightforward interview. Think of all who, already famous, appear on Saturday Night Live to guest in lukewarm sketches doing funny voices and wearing goofy costumes.

And now, with this in mind, watch Bruce Willis throw the first pitch at Wednesday night’s Philadelphia Phillies home game.

Willis, a successful actor who could be spending his time simply watching baseball from the comfort of really good seats, decided instead to venture out into the public eye, throwing a ball in front of an enormous audience that makes it their business to constantly assess how good professional athletes are at ball-throwing.
