Odell Beckham Jr. offered professional baseball contract

Odell Beckham Jr. throws one softball for fun and look what happens? Well, if you are the freakishly athletic OBJ, and it broke the plate with 80-plus heat, anything is possible — even the offer of a professional baseball contract.

The New York Giants receiver was offered a contract to be a pitcher by the Can-Am League's Rockland Boulders on Tuesday after video of him throwing a softball at a charity event went viral over the weekend.

The Boulders are an independent league team based out of Pomona, New York.

"It's apparent that Odell is a very gifted athlete regardless of his sport.  We think that getting experience pitching to professional hitters will give him the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson," Boulders general manager Shawn Reilly said. "As we are the New York area's only defending professional championship team, he will have the opportunity to learn in a first-class environment while still in close proximity to MetLife Stadium."

Beckham would reportedly receive professional coaching. 

"We were very impressed with Odell's mechanics in the video," said Boulders pitching coach Bobby Jones, the former Mets starter. "He's shown his ability to catch a ball on the gridiron and after seeing his prowess on the mound, I am optimistic that he has the tools to develop into a quality pitcher."

In all probability, Beckham is going to pass on the Boulders' offer, which asks for him to report to Spring Training next May, in the middle of the Giants' offseason workout program. 

Although, if Beckham really wanted to try his hand at baseball in the offseason, the Giants wouldn't be able to stop him. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson attended Spring Training the past two years with the Texas Rangers prior to the start of the Seahawks' offseason workout program. 

And I have to say this again about Beckham. Is there anything the guy can't do with a ball in his hands?

Gov. Chris Christie plays in charity softball game at Yankee Stadium (VIDEO)

Gov. Chris Christie took some time off from playing hardball with politicians to lending his bat and glove to a charity softball game on Monday.

The embattled governor participated in the fourth annual Bombers Boomer Broadway Softball Classic featured celebrities facing off against the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team and New York Yankees alumni in a friendly game at Yankee Stadium.

Christie and other celebrities took to the field to help raise money for wounded warriors and the Boomer Esiason Foundation that supports fighting cystic fibrosis.

And I guess saying the rotund Christie covered all the bases would be too easy.

Christie— who was a high school catcher — did catch the ball to make a crucial out at third base in the 7th inning with the bases loaded and played nine innings as his team eked out a 7-6 win for Boomer's side.

Christie is a regular guest on WFAN’s "Boomer & Carton," co-hosted by Esiason and Craig Carton.

The devoted baseball fan told reporters  before the game that he was happy to have a break from politics and said he hoped he wouldn’t get injured.

He also mentioned that he’d rather be at Citi Field — home of his beloved Mets.

Just watch that GW Bridge traffic back to the Jersey Turnpike.
