It was a night of two firsts for Peepshow star Holly Madison. She’d never thrown out a first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, and the former Playboy centerfold who has bared all had certainly never sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” for a stadium full of fans.

Holly accomplished both in the past 48 hours, and the western division champion Los Angeles Angels credit her with their 5-0 win over the Texas Rangers in Anaheim, Calif., that sends them into the playoffs against the Boston Red Sox next Thursday.

The blonde beauty picked up training tips from Angels MVP Kendry Morales and catcher Mike Napoli. Our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue captured this formidable photo gallery for Vegas DeLuxe, which shows Chone Figgins teaching Holly how to bunt and when she shared baseball talk with Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter. Holly also posed with the Angels’ Strike Force gals and tossed the ball with rookie Trevor Bell.

Team President Dennis Kuhl, Manager Mike Scioscia and pitching coach Mike Butcher all happily gave Holly tips on how to hold the ball, and catcher Jeff Mathis smiled after pulling her pitch out of the dirt.

Holly made her game complete in Anaheim singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with the Strike Force during the seventh inning stretch.

After the day at Disneyland with some of her Peepshow cast mates and the MLB game, Holly told me: “That really was a first -- two of them. My throw was scattered, but it did make it to the mound. I used to think all the bad singers made it to Wrigley Field in Chicago, but people said I shouldn’t have worried. Both were a thrilling end to a wonderful, free day from the show. I’ll be rooting for the Angels now for the rest of the season. I’m on their team.”
