Tom Fitzgerald ’57 was invited by the Boston Red Sox to join Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Caroline Kennedy in first-pitch ceremonies in April. Tom’s grandfather, John F. “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald, was the mayor of Boston in 1912, when he had the honor of throwing out the first pitch. For the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park, Tom was given a ball and told to throw it to baseball legend Carl Yastrzemski. “What a special day it was to be a part of the Fenway celebration and to have Yaz as my battery mate, even if it was only for a single pitch,” Tom says.
