Maybe Karaban can throw out the first pitch in Fenway. That would be cool. Wonder who Donovan roots for. Bristol was a Red Sox minor league town for a long time.

I’d love to give you credit for calling this but it was in all the newspapers multiple times in the last 2 months. So you get no credit!

 

[huskymedic]

UConn getting decent about of publicity in NY/BOS across the board.

 

[donyell34]

The whole team are Yankee fans. "No doubt about it ".

Well this is the first I've heard of it. Why is it just being posted in Tweets now? I knew about the Mets one.

So what are you trying to say??

 

[housekeys]

Maybe one of our Huskies will throw out the first pitch and another Husky, who is a fan of the other team can attempt the first hit.

 

[HooperScooper]

So what are you trying to say??

Yeah sorry to bust on @HuskyHawk but I thought it was funny that he took credit for something that was reported many times. So I had to stomp on him for patting himself on the back.

 

[kobe]

so awesome! my local church had the honor of throwing out a pitch at a Reds game a few years ago.

love to see other mlb teams giving the same opportunities!

It is what it is. I don't live in CT, didn't see those articles or read the Mets thread aside from seeing the title. Just logical that it would be those two guys. Danny would consider it blasphemous to throw the pitch at Fenway I'm sure.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Makes sense for Hurley as a tri-state guy to do the Yankees game and Karaban/Clingan as New England guys to do the Red Sox.

Maybe one day an actual Bearcat might get that opportunity

Nah

Yes. First pitch is about 7:00.

The Huskies, who finished their 19th summer practice on Monday, will be honored Friday at Fenway Park, before the Red Sox play the Mets......

NESN not yet showing the first pitch on their broadcast (even with a rain delay) nor on their social media (nor other media members).
Sheesh.
