The well-known artist Machine Gun Kelly is no stranger to turning heads with his bold fashion choices, controversies, and quirky demeanor. During his appearance as the special guest for the Cleveland Guardians, MGK left the audience in awe and his catcher Austin Hedges bewildered by his unconventional approach to the traditional first pitch in baseball.
Instead of following the usual practice of throwing the ball to the catcher, the rapper took a daring step. He sprinted towards the third base line and hurled the ball into the stands, missing his target by quite a distance but clearly aiming to thrill the fans by giving one lucky individual a unique souvenir.
MGK’s Unique Pitch Wins Over Fans
Machine Gun Kelly’s off-target throw has left a lasting impact on his fans. The gesture was a tribute to those who have supported him since his beginnings in Cleveland and was a way for him to connect with his roots in the city.
The 34-year-old hometown hero graced the event for “MGK Day,” where the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation. To add to the excitement, the first 10,000 attendees of the game received a special gift: a customized 27 Club Coffee bag from MGK’s recently launched coffee shop in Cleveland, making the occasion even more memorable for his loyal fan base.
