Watch: Barkley showcases ugly swing during BP

Charles Barkley's infamous golf swing apparently translates to the diamond.

The basketball Hall of Famer and NBA on TNT broadcaster was invited to take batting practice at Citizens Bank Park before the Philadelphia Phillies took on the Chicago Cubs Monday night. Barkley looked like he had a blast in the cage, but it seems as though he may need a few lessons on how to pull a fastball.

It's probably safe to say Sir Charles made a wise career choice pursuing basketball over these sports in which he has to swing objects at balls.
