Here’s the 50 Cent first-pitch baseball card you’ve been waiting for
We told you recently about Topps making a series of baseball cards for its 2015 set that celebrate celebrity first pitches. There’s Jack White, Jeff Bridges, Eddie Vedder, McKayla Maroney, among various others and, of course, 50 Cent — owner of what’s maybe the worst celebrity first pitch of all time.
We saw a few of the celebrity first pitch cards already, but now as Topps ramps up for the release of its 2015 Series 1 on Friday, we get to see the 50 Cent card in all its splendor.
The picture doesn’t tell the entire story, of course. Sure, 50’s arm looks awkward, like his pitch is going to be a misfire, but from the card you can’t totally tell. Thankfully, moving pictures on the Internet can help remind us just how bad 50’s first pitch was. And we’re talking worse than his career after “Get Rich or Die Trying.”
While we’re on the topic, let’s also never forget this instant classic 50 remix:
Chasing down this 50 Cent card might just be on our weekend to-do list now. Well played, Topps.
