However, MLB fans said the baseball team might be cursed after welcoming her to their diamond. Haliey Welch, also known as the viral Hawk Tuah girl, has been invited to plenty of special occasions since rising to fame after her \u2018Tim &#038; Dee TV\u2019 YouTube interview in June. While she might have been embarrassed to walk out of her house at first after going viral, Haliey is now embracing the opportunities she\u2019s been given. One of which was throwing the first pitch at the New York Mets vs Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball game on August 15. Though she seemingly enjoyed being part of the tradition, which is carried on by celebrities alike, netizens called the encounter \u201cpathetic.\u201d Hailey Welch throws out the first pitch at today\u2019s Mets game pic.twitter.com\/1iu8MzIlbz \u2014 SNY Mets (@SNY_Mets) August 15, 2024 Others added their disapproval on X: \u201cDisgusting! Do better Mets!\u201d exclaimed one. \u201cAbsolutely disgraceful,\u201d said another. \u201dWhat the f*ck are we doing?\u201d questioned a third. Some MLB fans even accused Hawk Tuah girl of cursing the Mets. \u201cIt\u2019s over. See you in 2025,\u201d said one. \u201cIf that\u2019s not a curse I don\u2019t know what is,\u201d agreed another. One MLB fan did find a reason to laugh, though. Adding, \u201cDid she throw a \u2018spitball?\u2019\u201d Some also pointed out how Haliey threw the first pitch to her friend Chelsea Bradford instead of an actual Mets player, which is usually what takes place. \u201cThe best part is that no met player wanted to catch for her,\u201d mocked one. Haliey responds to first pitch backlash On August 16, she addressed the backlash surrounding her first pitch and revealed her motivation behind doing the appearance. \u201cSo I guess some of the baseball community wasn\u2019t too happy to see me yesterday,\u201d she said. \u201cThe main reason I went to the game was to spread awareness and donate to America\u2019s vet dogs which pairs dogs with war veterans for a forever home.\u201d Hawk Tuah girl has also been hung out to dry for mistaking dog food for human food during her trip to Erewhon this August. She was even criticized for not knowing what a meme is despite calling herself the \u201cmeme queen\u201d on X where she shared multiple attempts at making one. Though Haliey\u2019s first pitch might have managed to make some baseball fans upset, she\u2019s not the only celebrity to have been roasted after being invited to an MLB stadium. In 2013, \u2018Call Me Maybe\u2019 singer Carly Rae Jepsen was known for having one of the worst first pitches ever \u2013 even the MLB said it went \u201chorribly wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hawk Tuah girl slammed for \u201ccursing\u201d Mets baseball team after throwing first pitch X: SNY_MetsHawk Tuah girl\u2019s 15 minutes of fame are far from over, as she was invited to throw the first pitch at a Mets game on August 15.
