Cameras Caught Kendrick Perkins Taking the Worst BP Before Braves-Red Sox Game

In this story:
Kendrick Perkins is back in Boston covering the NBA Finals with ESPN and on Tuesday night he decided to not only make a stop over at Fenway Park to check out the Braves-Red Sox game, but he also stepped into the batter's box for some hacks.
How'd it go for the former NBA player who won a championship with the Boston Celtics?
Not great. Not great at all.
MLB Network cameras caught the 39-year-old NBA analyst taking some rough cuts at some pretty slow pitches a few hours before the first pitch of the game.

Fans had jokes:
Absolutely love @KendrickPerkins and by no means am I a Sox fan, but this looks more like No Vaughn than Mo Vaughn https://t.co/r757YJD3v0
