The crowd roared as Snoop Dogg jogged up to the pitching mound to cast the first pitch at the Milwaukee Brewers-Cincinnati Reds game at American Family Field in Milwaukee on Saturday.
Snoop then returned to the broadcast booth, surprising fans with his play-by-play of the game. No stranger to the microphone, he was animated in his unfiltered commentary.
He exploded as Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz launched the ball into first, sending Brice Turang back to the dugout.
“Oh lord! He got a rocket in his pocket!” Snoop exclaimed.
