Kendrick Perkins had a rough time taking some batting practice before Tuesday's Braves-Red Sox game. /

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
