Who says that baseball cards are just for athletes? Today (Jan. 22), the legendary Topps baseball card brand announced its first series of baseball cards for 2015, and the new packs are set to include some limited edition cards featuring celebrities during their first pitches. Amongst those listed, notable baseball enthusiast Jack White will be receiving his own card, in addition to musicians such as 50 Cent, Austin Mahone and Macklemore.
The series is set to commemorate famous celebrity first pitches from the last year, which include White's enthusiastic Tigers throw and 50 Cent's major league flub.
White, Mahone, 50 Cent and Mackemore aren't the only musicians to get their own baseball cards this winter, according to Yahoo. Other musicians getting their due include: Eddie Vedder for the Chicago Cubs, Biz Markie for the Oakland Athletics and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello who threw out a pitch for the Cubs as well.
Musicians aren't the only ones getting their due with a shiny new baseball card. Gymnast McKayla Maroney, Graham Elliot, and Tom Willis (a motivational speaker born with no arms) will also be getting commemorated.
The celebrity cards will be slightly hard to find, so fans of White's will have to look hard for his thumbs-up and Detroit jersey.
The cards are set to go on sale Feb. 6, and Topps baseball cards run for $1.99 a pack.
Not a bad price to find that 50 Cent flub - or maybe that's still too much to remember.
