TheBoomBox reports Topps, the worlds biggest baseball card company, is paying homage to Hip Hop with a special card series.  The '2015 Topps Series 1', will not only feature some of your favorite rappers, but also those who threw the first pitch at major league games.  Yes, including 50 Cent and Biz Markie.   Who can forget 50's horrible pitch at Shea Stadium before the Mets game last year?  Or Biz Markie's, who's first pitch for the Oakland A's didn't even cross the plate?  They'll probably go down as the worse baseball throws of all time.

These cards are going to be really cool and if you happen to be a collector, you gonna wanna pick these up.  Speaking of which, listen to Tha Wire below and find out when they're going to arrive in stores.
