Michaels recently called in to share his experience hanging in the big leagues with 100.7 Star’s Bubba Show.
“I went down there. took my daughters down and we got to go out in the batting cage, throw baseballs,” he said after detailing how much Pittsburgh sports played a role in his childhood. “[We] had the best time ever."
“I got to knock a couple and almost a couple out of the park,” he said. “We were throwing the ball back and forth and he bein’ really cool, really respectful and he’s kind of lobbin’ it and I go, ‘come on… let that thing fly.’ He [then] threw so fast — let’s put it this way — I didn’t even know it hit my glove… I pretended it didn’t hurt at all, I was like, ‘I’m cool, man.’ — it was a great day in my life.”
After getting the royal treatment from a team he idolizes, Michaels shared he is going to pay it forward by treating the Bubba Show to the ultimate Bret Michaels concert experience during the Pittsburgh stop on his Parti-Gras Tour.

Bubba responded, “You might’ve just created the coolest night in Bubba Show history!”
