Can you dig it?! Booker T throws out first pitch for the Astros
Can you dig it?! Booker T throws out first pitch for the Astros
Despite making his WCW debut as part of a tag team billed from New York (Harlem Heat), former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Booker T (not that Booker T) actually hails from Houston. The 2013 WWE Hall of Fame inductee was on hand at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Astros hosted the Athletics.

A's outfielder, noted George Michael fan and rabid supporter of all things professional wrestling Josh Reddick obviously took the opportunity to nerd the hell out.
Awesome getting to go on the field w/ @BookerT5x tonight for @astros first pitch! And we met @joshreddick16! pic.twitter.com/k2ezXyfarU
- Chuck Rice (@CRICE17) July 30, 2014The A's won 7-4, but one could argue that the real show happened between the ceremonial first pitch and the actual first pitch because that's when 'Stros mascot Orbit got Booker T's attention and did his best "spinaroonie."


Now can you dig that ... SUCKA?!
Orbit and Booker T apparently hit it off, joking on Twitter about possible Wrestlemania scenarios.
@BookerT5x @WWE I'm in! Ring name: Astro Thunder, Sig move: Fist of FURRY, plus bi-weekly dance-offs against @brodusclay! Where do I sign?
- Houston Astros Orbit (@OrbitAstros) July 30, 2014Before we go, let's remember to never forget that time that Stone Cold Steve Austin attacked Booker T in a grocery store and covered him in condiments while singing.
