That's the height of popularity metal bands are achieving now; they're throwing out pitches at major professional baseball games. What's next?

On July 5, Chthonic got to throw out the first pitches of Taiwan's major league baseball team to open up the game. It's probably better they stick to metal as well considering they're pretty terrible pitchers. You can check out the rest of the pictures on their Facebook page too. You know, just in case you're wondering what stage-ready metal folk look like in half tage gear, half baseball uniform. Good on them for getting that level of recognition! Between them and Metallica playing the national anthem AND throwing the first pitch at a San Francisco Giants game, metal has gone baseball!
Now let's see if we can get guys like Greg Puciato to guest lineback for the New York Giants or something… because why not?
