And while athletes usually have the kind of natural athleticism and hand-eye coordination that allows them to be naturally gifted at anything they do, today we have proof that is not always the case.

At David Ortiz's 7th Annual Golf Classic, which he hosts to raise money for his Children's Fund, a number of celebs and athletes came out, including Hanley Ramirez, Pedro Martinez, Jose Bautista and Manny Ramirez.
