First Pitch At Cardinals-Red Sox Game 8/16/17 - Just A Bit Outside!

[Mr KLC]

Here's the ceremonial first pitch at Fenway Park prior to tonight's St. Louis Cardinals/Boston Red Sox game where Jordan, a patient for The Jimmy Fund, on the same day the annual NESN/WEEI Jimmy Fund Telethon was wrapping up, threw out the first pitch in front of the 1967 American League Champion Red Sox team. Unfortunately, the pitch missed its intended target by a lot to the right & ends up hitting photographer Tony Capobianco in the nuts. I guess he got his pitching tips from Addison Reed on that one!

I was watching the ceremony last night as the 67 Red Sox were my heroes back then. It was emotional for me seeing what time had done to the ballplayers of my youth that I loved so much as they walked onto the field for the last time. Then the Jimmy Fund poster child turned high school pitcher threw out the first pitch and it really sailed on him...my tears of nostalgia instantly turned to tears of uncontrollable laughter. I thought my days were over...haha still laughing.
