Boston Red Sox Asks Sen. Kennedy to Throw First Pitch at Season Opener

By GottaLaff

The good news and the not-so-good news. First, the good news:

The Boston Red Sox has asked Sen. Ted Kennedy to throw out the first pitch when the team hosts the Tampa Bay Devil Rays Monday at their season opener in Fenway Park, the Boston Herald reported.

Now, the not-so-good news:

But Kennedy's presence at the game is "uncertain" due to his medical condition, the team's Web site said.

I'm just happy that he's around to accept or reject the invitation, and, more importantly, is able to fight for us in the U.S. Senate. Hang in there, Teddy.
