Ceremonial First Pitches Get Their Own Card Set

Mini-Cooper-S-Ponies

As if bad first pitches needed any more publicity…there’s this.

Topps has announced they’re including a 15-card set of ceremonial first pitches (both good and bad) as part of their upcoming 2015 set. No, really.

Among the chosen…Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder (decked out in Chicago Cubs gear), Academy Award winning actor and Los Angeles Dodgers fan Jeff Bridges and, of course, 50 Cent embarrassing the colors of his New York Mets.

Also immortalized on cardboard…105-year-old Agnes McKee, Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney and soccer star Jermaine Jones, who, last July, delivered a “first kick”.
