Rob and Drama's First Pitches

TV Show stars Rob Dyrdek and Drama of Fantasy Factory have both made their respective appearances for the Mariners and Dodgers (Rob threw one for each) throwing out first pitches. While there are 30 teams playing 162 games in the Major Leagues, getting an invitation to throw out a pitch isn't handed out to anyone. I found it fitting that both received invitations within this season apart (Rob also threw one out for the Dodgers last August), and how it shows the rise to prominence that both have been a part of under Fantasy Factory, Dyrdek's Street League, the new professional skate organization, and Drama's Young & Reckless clothing brand and his production company. Below are their opening fastballs:

Rob's arm looked like it belonged it same late relief positions, while Drama looked like his movement could land him in a set-up role at best (sarcasm). As a sidenote, I have never seen the first pitch be redone, so props, or nonprops, to Mr. Dyrdek.
