Cardale Jones & Ezekiel Elliott compete over hometown love

Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones wants to feel the love.

He soaked in plenty of it at Wednesday night's Cleveland Cavaliers playoff game, where he hyped up fans during a break in the action.

But the Cleveland native now is inquiring about hitting the baseball diamond, as his teammate Ezekiel Elliott did in throwing out the first pitch at Wednesday's St. Louis Cardinals game.

I'm just saying @Indians @EzekielElliott thinks his hometown loves him more than my hometown loves me because he throw out the first pitch

Jones got a quick response from the team -- and may well be in luck.

After all, Jones was repping a Tribe hat at Quicken Loans Arena, so he obviously has love for his hometown baseball team.
