The 48-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Stephen Gilchrist Glover, took the mound ahead of Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

"My first time throwing the first pitch at an MLB game – I’m pretty sure it’s never been done like this, too!" he wrote in a post on his Instagram Monday. "Thanks so much, Padres!!!"
The fireball pitch brought good luck to the Padres as pitcher Michael Wacha took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and struck out a career-high 11 in San Diego’s 4-0 victory over the Royals.

"I’ve been one out away and three outs away as well. Been flirting with it a few times now," Wacha said after helping the Padres end a five-game losing streak. "When the time’s right we’ll see what goes down."
