For some fans in the audience who didn't know Ludacris, they may have been confused watching a guy whose arms were super long and strong.
Some older people in the audience might have just thought that he had a long wingspan, works out a lot, and had big feet.
Get back, Luda!

All in all, being able to throw a strike with the big prosthetic arms was very impressive, considering that other rappers like 50 cent couldn't even throw it close to the plate.

One fan stated on X.
"I'm curious as to how Ludacris threw a better first pitch with fake arms than most celebrities do with two perfectly good real ones."

Some might remember the 'Get Back' music video, where Ludacris first debuted his iconic big arms.

Ultimately, the reason why the 46-year-old was there in the first place, is that he was being honored as a local musician for his impact on the culture.
In view of the game, the Braves won 5-2, and some lucky fans were able to take home a memory of the special moment, as 15,000 fans out of the 40,000 received a Ludacris bobblehead.
Luda!
