Perhaps one of the coolest men to roam the planet, Snoop Dogg, was in Los Angeles the other day to take in a Dodgers game, chat with MLB.com’s Tara Gore, and throw out the ceremonial first pitch.  The rapper, actor, and friend of LSU’s Les Miles was quite entertaining during his visit and even debuted his new pitch, “The East Side Hook.”

During the interview Snoop praised the Manny Ramirez deal, recalled his fondness for some of the old Dodgers, and predicted a Dodgers/Angels “freeway series.”  Check out the interview and the first pitch, conveniently embedded, post-jump.

Don’t expect Snoop to throw out the first pitch for the Angels anytime soon, though.  The red color in the Angels jersey might confuse his blue-wearing Crips affiliates into thinking he switched over to the Bloods.

The best part of the video (besides when he said his catcher “sucks.”) was when he explained his reasoning for not playing baseball as a youth was because “the little ball scared him.”

It literally doesn’t get any better than Snoop Dogg, ya dig?
