Here’s A Victim Of The Boston Marathon Bombing Throwing Out The First Pitch For The Red Sox, From His Wheelchair

The Boston Red Sox continued to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon, bombing, last night. Ron Brassard was standing 10 feet away from the bomb and was struck in the leg. He threw out a ceremonial first pitch for the Sox yesterday, from his wheelchair. The mother of Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old who died in the bombing, threw one out, too. Sports don’t suck.

Well, that was fast. As a matter of fact, Papi coming back to Boston and a few inappropriate F-bombs is about as normal as I can think of for a Red Sox game. In what was up until that moment, a stirring, heart felt, tactful remembrance, David Ortiz brought some, um, levity to the rather somber occasion.

Here It Is: The Boston Red Sox Hold A Moving Pre Game Ceremony For First Home Game Since Marathon Bombing (VIDEO)

After nearly a week of tragedy compounded by uncertainty and, ostensibly, a county-wide lockdown, the Boston Red Sox return home to different city. An exhausted, stronger, relieved city in mourning. Now begins picking up the pieces, and the long road back to normalcy. Today’s matchup against the Royals marks the first home game for city’s favorite team, nay, thing, just down the street from the chaos of Monday’s marathon bombing.
