There have been many surprising first pitches in Major League Baseball recently.
Before the game between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, Machine Gun Kelly had his turn to throw the ceremonial first pitch at Progressive Field. Instead of aiming for home plate, he threw the ball into the stands.
Machine Gun Kelly, also known as Colson Baker, started with a typical windup. But then he ran toward third base and tossed the ball into the crowd .

The 34-year-old rapper grew up in Cleveland and was there for “MGK Day.” The first 10,000 fans who came to the game got a special 27 Club Coffee bag from his coffee shop in Cleveland.
Memorable First Pitches:
Over time, we’ve seen some amazing first pitches. For example, 50 Cent and Mariah Carey had some pretty wild throws. On the other hand, gymnasts Simone Biles and Suni Lee amazed everyone with their incredible throws.
Fans might think this is one of those moments they’ll never forget!
Machine Gun Kelly’s unique pitch will definitely be remembered in baseball history. What do you think about it?
