Yung Gravy is swapping his microphone for a baseball bat — at least for one day.
The St. Louis Cardinals brought a touch of hip-hop to Busch Stadium by signing the multi-platinum artist to a one-day contract.
Yung Gravy, known for hits like “Mr. Yung.” “Clean” and “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot,” Yung Gravy enthusiastically accepted the Cardinals’ offer to wear a custom jersey.
If anyone had any doubts about this partnership, MLB Network’s Greg Amsinger put it to rest when he announced the news on the air.
The news caused quite a stir online, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Yung Gravy’s journey to the major leagues began when podcast host Bobbi Althoff asked him if he played for the Cardinals — a question that prompted him to post a humorous request on TikTok.
“Is there any team willing to take Yung Gravy? The Cardinals are my first choice!
The Cardinals responded in the affirmative shortly thereafter, and fans could watch him unbox the custom jersey on social media.
While the one-day practice with the Cardinals grabbed the headlines, it’s not the only exciting venture for Gravy in 2024.
The artist is gearing up for his “Grits & Gravy” tour.
