CINCINNATI — Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Great American Ball Park, Saturday afternoon.

Cooper threw the pitch to Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo, who is known to sing and play music of his own, before the Reds' game against the visiting Seattle Mariners.

Cincinnati defeated the Mariners, 13-4 in from of a crowd of 34,965.

The pitch came as Cooper is set to have a concert in Cincinnati, Sunday.

Cooper, born on Feb. 4, 1948, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in '11, as he was presented by Rob Zombie.

Cooper's Hall of Fame bio states: "Onstage, Alice Cooper brought a new level of visual theatrics to arenas with their gory array of props, which included a guillotine, electric chair, boa constrictor and fake blood."

Cooper just released his 25th studio album, titled "Along Came a Spider."[[In-content Ad]]
