Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball head coach Eric Musselman showed off his right arm Tuesday afternoon at San Diego's Petco Park.

Musselman threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the San Diego Padres faced the Seattle Mariners.

He wore a Padres jersey with the No. 13 and Musselman on the back of it. Musselman played college basketball at the University of San Diego from 1983-87.

On Tuesday, Musselman tweeted, "Had the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at the @Padres game today! Dreams do come true."

After he waved to the San Diego crowd, Musselman threw the ceremonial first pitch from in front of the mound.

His pitch reached the catcher in the air and appeared to go over home plate.

In a tweet with the video of the first pitch, Musselman said, "Thank you @Padres for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Checked off a bucket list item today @PetcoPark."

Seattle defeated San Diego 6-2 on Tuesday.

Eric Musselman's dad, Bill Musselman, coached the San Diego Sails of the ABA in 1975.
