Throwing The First Pitch

Jet, May 28, 2001

THROWING THE FIRST PITCH: Rap star Nelly throws out the first pitch before a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game against the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. A once-aspiring baseball player who earned tryouts with the Atlanta Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates, Nelly has since settled for slugging out hit rap tunes.

His debut album, Country Grammar, which features the songs Country Grammar, E.I. and Ride Wit Me, has sold more than 6 million copies. The St. Louis native, along with his group St. Lunatics, is getting set to drop a debut group album, Free City, this month.
