Pedro

Love this GIF– Pedro Martinez showing Boston bombing victim Jeff Bauman, who threw out the first pitch last night alongside the guy who saved him, how to throw a circle change. It’s amazing to think that just six weeks ago, Bauman, who lived in Philly when he was younger, looked like this…

… now he’s throwing out the first pitch at a Red Sox game with an assist from Pedro. Awesome. But don’t think it’s lost on me that Tom McCarthy managed to wedge out this awkward sentence when talking about Bauman: “He was injured in the bombing, on the 15th of April. He lost both of his legs, and he’s been rehabbing at a facility outside of Boston to strengthen those legs, because he’ll get the prosthetics sometime in the next couple of weeks.” That sound you hear is everyone who read that groaning.

Watch the video after the jump.
