Darth Vader throws terrible first pitch at Reds game (Video)

Darth Vader threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Friday night's Cincinnati Reds game to kick off "Star Wars" weekend at Great American Ball Park. However, Darth Vader could have used some more of "The Force" to make a stronger throw to home plate.

Vader stood on the edge of the grass in front of the mound, giving him a shorter throw to make to Mr. Red, who was catching behind the plate. However, Vader's throw was about 10 feet short and wide.  Mr. Red displayed some impressive ability behind the plate by getting to his knees to make the stop.
