since it's 'Black Lives Matter' - only makes sense that it will be an African American. that being said - i think it would be hysterical if they just went with a white guy out of left field that had no affiliation to the Sox but just had one with Boston in general - I'm going with Larry Bird if these are our only choices...
Here to celebrate 'Black Lives Matter' and throw out the first pitch - Boston Legend Larry Bird!
larry walks out to the mound - you see some looks of confusion on some of the African American's faces - like WTF? - as the white folk in the crowd go nuts over Lord Larry

There is no crowd, but I see your point. |

I'd have guessed our very own Willie Eldon O'Ree, except he's 84 and was blinded when he played (in juniors, I think).

I find it odd - the little blurb above how the team president states it's a person 'New Englanders' will enjoy - not necesarrily Bostonians.
Please let it be Tom Brady.
Here to celebrate 'Black Lives Matter' and throw out the first pitch - Tom Brady!
What other 'New Englanders' could the BoSox fans enjoy?

Trump lost every New England state in 2016. Which would make it all the more epic.
Here to celebrate Black Lives Matter - Your President of the United States -Donald Trump!

It sounds like it's one of those things where multiple people are doing it. Lame either way. |
