http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYf-ChIa5sBefore the Washington Nationals baseball team played the San Francisco Giants in Game 2 of the National League Division Series at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., the fans saw a most unusual first-pitch ceremony. Sgt. First Class Brian Keaton, a U.S. Army veteran, who was wounded in the line of duty while serving in Iraq, threw out the pitch as if it were a grenade, to honor the troops.
Keaton spent almost four years years at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center recovering from a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Keaton dropped to his stomach in the grass behind the pitcher’s mound as if to avoid enemy fire. Low crawling several feet to approach the mound, he pops up and lobs the ball towards the catcher at home plate, mimicking a grenade toss.
