Rapper Bun B was really nervous throwing out the first pitch in Houston, and it didn't go so well

Bun B was really nervous to throw out the first pitch

Texan, rapper and Rice University professor Bun B is a really big Astros fan, so it's only natural that he was equally as nervous to throw out the first pitch before the Royals' 9-6 win over the Astros in Game 4 of the ALDS on Monday.

"Hopefully the people give me the energy to get that thing across the plate," he said before the throw. "I haven't had any practice."

He wanted to do Houston proud, you see.

"I usually represent Houston outside of the city ... This is a huge platform, I just don't want to let the guys down. I'm glad that they get to takeover once I mess this pitch up."

Here's hoping the actual experience wasn't as bad as he feared ...
