Game 2 of the World Series was dedicated to those coming home from overseas and those still fighting the good fight. There were old players who fought in wars as well as many military officers. The most touching moment, however, happened before the players even took the field. Alongside San Francisco legend Willie Mays, Marine Corporal and triple amputee Nicholas Kimmel was given the honor to throw out the first pitch.
Kimmel was a former baseball star in high school before enlisting in the Marines. On his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, Kimmel lost both his legs and his left arm. However, the athleticism is still there as he threw quite an impressive pitch. It was a great moment for Kimmel and for Americans watching all over the country. He is a true hero and inspiration to all.
From a human perspective this was a powerful moment. On the field I think that Zito and Panda combined for the best moment so far with their performances in Game 1.
