UConn's Alex Karaban will throw out first pitch prior to Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park

[huskymedic]

-> Karaban will "start" on Saturday night at the Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park. <-

-> None of the former players from this year's national title team are expected to be at Fenway on Saturday night, with the possible exception of walk-on Andrew Hurley, coach Dan Hurley's son. Donovan Clingan, Stephon Castle, Tristen Newton and Cam Spencer are busy working out and preparing for the NBA Draft on June 26-27. Clingan and Castle have been invited to the draft's green room, an area where expected lottery picks sit during the draft.

Hurley and his coaching staff will also do first-pitch honors prior to a Red Sox-Yankees game on July 6 at Yankee Stadium. Spencer, a Maryland native, has been invited to throw out a first pitch prior to a Baltimore Orioles game at Camden Yards in late-July. <-

Hopefully? He's from Massachusetts. He isn't wearing a Yankees jersey, that's for damn sure.

 

[EnochRoot]

LOL visiting teams typically don't get to throw out the first pitch.

Hopefully while wearing a Connecticut Red Sox jersey.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

They might as well let him go a couple innings. What's the worst that could happen, they lose?

 

[TheHorde]

I’ll allow it

 

[Scoe]

I can’t blame the .500 Sox they need a winner on the mound.

I’d rather see him play first. The Sawx need help there.

Pitching actually has been pretty good this year. It's the hitting and defense that stink.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

That’s true, just teasing, as a Yankees fan gonna have to pull for the Sox against the Orioles.

I don’t get why none of our guys throw a first pitch in Elliot Park.

Do you mean Dunkin Donuts Park in Hartford?

[Skiblets]

Random fact. My wife threw out a first pitch at Fenway on earth night a few years back. She works in climate and sustainability. Hit the target pretty well too!

There’s something really special about the now sophomores (Solo, Jaylin, Jayden, Youssouf), who got to do a lot of things like this without winning anything, getting to run it back as champs themselves. Everyone in this program should just feel so proud of themselves,
