MLB: Justice Sotomayor's toss down the middle at Yankees' game
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Sonia Sotomayor was right down the middle with her ceremonial pitch at Yankee Stadium.
The newest Supreme Court Justice, a Yankees fan from the Bronx, threw out the pitch before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.
Wearing a Yankees jersey, she was accompanied to the field by Yankees catcher Jorge Posada. Standing a bit in front of the mound, the right-hander threw on the fly to catcher Jose Molina.
After she walked back to the Yankees dugout, Sotomayor shook hands and spoke with New York manager Joe Girardi.
As a U.S. District Judge in 1995, Sotomayor issued an injunction that led baseball players to end their strike after 7½ months.
