Boston Red Sox Photos: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 vs. Philadelphia Phillies.
“Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs during the Boston Marathon bombings, waves to the crowd before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts Tuesday, May 28, 2013.” “Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs during the Boston Marathon bombings, is wheeled onto the field by Carlos Arredondo, a Marathon spectator who carried Bauman to safety. Bauman and Arredondo threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts Tuesday, May 28, 2013.” “Fenway Park is shown during a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday, May 28, 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts.” “Fans watch as a boy is shown on the centerfield scoreboard during a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts Tuesday, May 28, 2013.”
I don’t have much to show from last night’s game itself, but it’s what happened before the game that was most important. Throwing out the ceremonial first pitches last night were two faces of the Boston Marathon bombings.
The first was Jeff Bauman, a Marathon spectator who lost both of his legs in the bombings. The second was Carlos Arredondo, the now recognizable man in the cowboy hat who wheeled Bauman to safety. Both were captured in this memorable photo by Charlie Krupa of the Associated Press.
An emotional pre-game ceremony last night for sure.
