Karl Ehrhardt!

The sign in my post is the sign he held up after the final out of the 1969 WS.

Davey Johnson was the batter for the O’s.

UConn's been good for SNY and vice versa.

As an Orioles fan, I hated that guy.

ooooof, I thought being associated with winners was a better idea.

Pretty cool now why wouldnt Hurley throw out the first pitch at a UConn baseball game, get some fans there they are 10th in the country.

 

[HuskyHawk]

That's unfortunate. Were the Yard Goats not available?

Better yet why wouldn’t we just have Hurley at last night Uconn game at Dunkin Donuts park.

Because he was in Jersey City getting a key to the city

They're probably Syracuse fans.

What a classy, well run organization. Kudos to Uncle Steve. I remember when the Yankees did things like this, back in the 1900's when people used to care about them.

I remember in 2011 when Calhoun threw out a first pitch in Fenway and Kemba in Yankee Stadium.

Hal can’t afford it, and you wouldn’t want Andre Jackson showing he can hit the ball further then Aaron Hicks.

Let’s leverage every Mets connection possible — I’d love Stevie Cohen to back UConn or NIL in some capacity.

Not as far fetched as some may think. Steve and his wife Alexandra live in Greenwich and donate huge sums to organizations in the area, including $20 million to Stamford Hospital and $5+ million to rebuild Stamford’s Mill River Park and create the Cohen Skating Center - a beautiful ice rink in the middle of downtown.

He does live in Connecticut and his investment management company is in Connecticut. So why not?

I can't speak for the 1999 squad (don't remember if they did or did not) but after titles two, three and four the team was honored at Yankee Stadium. There was even a humorous bit when Girardi came out of the dugout with a brand new Yankee cap and gave it to Maryland native Roscoe Smith, who was wearing an Oriole cap.

I'll be surprised if the Yankees don't do something and I will be surprised if the Red Sox don't do something. Each has in the past.

UConn is also likely to be honored by the Red Sox in an upcoming game at Fenway Park, as well. Donovan Clingan, the 7-foot-2 freshman center from Bristol, and Massachusetts native Alex Karaban are slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for that one.

Might as well line them up for the Phillies, Nationals, Reds, Cubbies, White Sox, Brewers, & Rangers

You forgot the most important one... the Padres.

What's with the catcher not setting up behind the plate?

 

[PlayItLeo]

Andre could literally be as good as any other pitcher on the Mets roster right now. They're the most injury-prone group of meatball throwers in the league, and those that DO pitch take the (already lackluster) offense out of the game before they even get an at-bat.
