Following their pitches at various Major League Baseball games in 2014, rappers 50 Cent, Macklemore and Biz Markie are set to receive their own baseball memorabilia cards courtesy of Topps.
According to Beckett.com, the set, titled 2015 Topps Series 1, is a “15-card set of ceremonial first pitches,” and is being released to honor those who threw the first pitches at MLB games in 2014.
50 Cent’s now-infamous pitch — which was later coined “the worst ever” by an unscientific report conducted by the Washington Post — took place before the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets on May 27 of last year.
“Thrift Shop” rapper Macklemore threw the first pitch at the game between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees on June 12. Meanwhile, Biz Markie, perhaps best known for his 1989 record “Just A Friend,” threw the first pitch at the game between the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics on July 23.

2015 Topps Series 1 are slated to be available on February 6.
