Cardale Jones lobbies the Indians to let him throw the first pitch

On Wednesday, Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones made an appearance at Bulls-Cavaliers Game 2, where he and Joakim Noah started a beef about the SEC. 

The following day, Jones showed his love for another Cleveland team, the Indians. Jones lobbied the team to let him throw the first pitch, saying that Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott was holding it over Jones' head that he hadn't yet thrown a first pitch in his hometown. 

The Indians seemed to reciprocate Jones' desire to throw the first pitch, telling Jones on Twitter that they wanted the national championship winning quarterback to toss the ceremonial pitch. 

Cardale Jones, Joakim Noah argue about the SEC

The only question is whether Jones will have to compete with fellow Buckeye quarterbacks J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller to throw the first pitch.
