Rapper 50 Cent might never play baseball, but he can still hang out with athletes once in awhile. The U.S. Men's National Team met him on the set of Good Morning America on Friday morning and presented him with an official jersey.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, spoke a bit about his childhood nickname 'Boo Boo' before being asked about a huge boo boo he made -- the failed first pitch at the Mets game this week.

"See that was Curtis that did that," he said, of his alter ego. "I'm trying to get Curtis to be like 50 Cent. 50 Cent is a star, Curtis just does things for no reason -- that's where that nickname came from, Boo Boo.

"You know what I actually got pulled over by New York City Police. They pulled me over in my car. He pulled me over and I said 'I got my license' right because I was a little nervous, as soon as he pulled me over, I was like 'what'd I do?'" he said. "And then he said, 'you know that pitch was terrible.'"
