Justice Sotomayor gets opening toss at Yankee Stadium

NY Times:

Justice Sonia Sotomayor will get a chance to show off her throwing arm this weekend.
The Supreme Court’s newest member, a Bronx native, will toss the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon, before the New York Yankees take on their rivals, the Boston Red Sox.

Justice Sotomayor’s pitch will be part of the Yankees’ celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. On Friday, Ricardo Martinelli, the president of Panama, will throw out the first pitch at the new Yankee Stadium, which opened earlier this year.
