Arkansas Razorbacks basketball coach Eric Musselman throws the first pitch during a baseball game, Thursday, April 18, 2019 at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

Eric Musselman had a dream come true this week when he threw out the first pitch at a San Diego Padres game with the Seattle Mariners.

A lifelong Padres fan who played basketball at the University of San Diego, Musselman threw what was likely a strike, depending on who the umpire would have been.

Musselman is a good athlete, so the pitch wasn’t a surprise.

It seemed as natural to him as pitching the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball program.
