My son Josh proudly represented the 1463rd Transportation Company by throwing out the first pitch at the W. Michigan Whitecaps game tonight. The Company is shipping to Iraq soon and the 'Caps honored them with this thrill. Josh has been going to Whitecaps games since the team's inception (1994, he was 7) and was more nervous about throwing out that ball than he is about shipping to Iraq I think.
Here's a few pics:
The pitch!
Walking off the field he was thinking "Whew, I made it to the plate!"
Pitcher Rudy Darrow played catcher for Josh and signed the ball afterward. Happy boy!
Whitecaps 2, Dragons 0
*applause*
