Mayor Mallory's Screwball Sandwich

This is ONN:

The errant ceremonial first pitch by the mayor of Cincinnati on baseball's opening day has inspired a sandwich with a fitting name, The Mark Mallory Screwball.

The ingredients for the sandwich at Izzy's deli will be "any two meats tossed in the general direction of a bun or two pieces of bread." The Screwball will be served with a potato pancake and pickles for $7.75.

Mallory says he's flattered that the restaurant, which is located a block from City Hall, is naming a sandwich for him.

Mallory's pitch April Second at Great American Ball Park was several feet wide of home plate, making him the butt of jokes on late-night TV.

He's taken the ribbing in stride, even appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last week.
