First pitch

There comes a point where you start to wonder why anyone would throw out a first pitch? When it goes well you never hear about it BUT if you bounce, sail or miss the catcher all together it lives on forever. The latest celebrity to blow the first pitch is NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton. Walton is one of Goz's heroes so when Goz gets his second chance to throw out a first pitch will he do better than his hero?

Tonight, the Tri-City ValleyCats will play host to the Staten Island Yankees in a New York/Penn League game.  It's also Hunter Pence bobblehead night as the first 1,000 fans get a bobblehead of the Houston Astros All-Star.
