Dancehall Star Shaggy Makes Ceremonial Pitch at Blue Jays Game Before Toronto Show

Dancehall sensation Shaggy brought his Caribbean flair to Rogers Centre in Toronto as he stepped onto the mound for the ceremonial first pitch before the Toronto Blue Jays faced off against the New York Yankees.

Adorned in a personalized Blue Jays jersey with «1» emblazoned on the back, Shaggy showcased his sportsmanship as he made the throw in front of the roaring crowd.

While the It Wasn’t Me hitmaker successfully delivered the pitch to home plate, he humorously admitted his preference for cricket over baseball in a brief chat with MLB representatives.

Expressing his passion for cricket, Shaggy joked, «I’m more of a cricket guy, that’s the only thing I’ll throw. So I got to figure out how to throw this ball.»

The visiting Yankees ultimately dominated the game with a convincing 16-5 victory over the Blue Jays, but the energetic atmosphere set the stage for Shaggy’s forthcoming performance.

As he reflected on the impending 30th anniversary of his smash hit Mr. Boombastic, Shaggy marveled at the track’s enduring popularity and recent milestone of surpassing one billion streams.

Excitement looms as Shaggy gears up to take the stage alongside American R&B group 112 at The Bowl at Sobey’s Stadium in Toronto, promising a memorable night filled with nostalgic tunes and electrifying performances.

Enthusiastically anticipating the show, Shaggy remarked, «From what I’ve been told it’s a pretty lovely venue there with 112 tomorrow, and I think the audience is just gonna come…we have songs that are soundtracks of a lot of people’s lives over three decades, so we’re just gonna play them and make that place rock.»
