People think that rock stars must be under so much pressure when they are up onstage for hours on end, entertaining thousands of people. Now imagine how much pressure it must feel when you've been asked to throw out the first pitch!
America's pastime has been holding the ceremonial first pitch for so long that it has seen its fair share of good throws, bad throws, and completely awful throws. Below are ten rock stars that have been lucky enough to step on the pitchers mound. Now if only some were lucky enough to throw the ball across the plate!
