Shabazz and KML to throw out 1st pitch(es) at Fenway

before tomorrow night's game.

Looks like Shabazz Napier and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis will be throwing out ceremonial first pitches tomorrow night at Fenway. #uconn #redsox

Shabazz is from Roxbury. What a special moment it will be for him.

There's no one on the women's team with any connection to Boston. I like that KML will be the one. She fought through a tough year but there is no national championship without her. She wasn't an AA this year, but Geno has found another way to honor her and what she meant to the team.

Hope they're saving the two NY seniors for the Yankees....

So happy that KML is doing this. I agree-- a wonderful way to honor her. She was absolutely great in the post season.

Careful with the elbow!! I hope she throws it underhand.

I inquired as to whether there might be a meet'n'greet, because I'd actually be able to go, but alas not meant to be.

 

[ChicagoGG]

I sure hope they show this on the NESN pre-game!

I wish we could get NESN in lower Fairfield County.

Has anyone ever threw out the first pitch underhand softball style? That be fun to see. Some of those women can really crank out a fastball underhand!

I bet they let the girls choose, and KML's probably got the best arm. Total guess, but wouldn't be surprised.

KML was the 6 game NCAA Tmt MVP this year!

KML posted a pic of herself last year wearing a Sox shirt and said she loves Boston now...

I will be there and get you an update on their arms…...

My TV guide is showing that NESN will broadcast the Bruins game, not Red Sox. That's annoying, hopefully there will be video.

The game is on the MLB Network, which might explain why NESN isn't showing it. Since it's a Yankees @ Boston game, I'm hoping YES or My9 has it.

I believe the game is on NESNPLus given that NESN is doing the Bruins playoff game.
I would assume YES is also carrying it?

 

[Kibitzer]

Here in Norwalk (obviously Fairfield County), it is customary for Yankees vs. Red Sox to be shown on YES network (631 on DirecTV) rather than NESN (628). I don't rule out Channel 9 or even one of the ESPN channels.

It is a leap of faith to hope that the Yankees will graciously show UConn wcbb players instead of their usual Michael Kay pre-game hype.

One can hope.

The game is on nesn plus as it is every year that the bruins make the playoffs. I'm sure that they will interview Napier live maybe sometime after the fourth inning. It's a shame that they didn't allow the women this treat too. What a bunch of bunk about a scheduling problem . Come on!!!!

 

[lanieer]

Cox has it on 1147.

It is on NESN+ and WCTX ch 1009 on Comcast

I wish we could get NESN in lower Fairfield County.

I'm watching now on MLB network - they're showing the NESN feed, but don't think they showed the first pitch ceremony

I've been watching The Sox pre-game and game all night and haven't seen it. (Unless they just showed a replay during the game when I was out of the room).
Definitely was NOT on the pre-game where I expected to see it.
