Carla Hayden, Former Pratt CEO, To Toss First Pitch At Camden Yards

She may work in Washington now, but she has longtime Baltimore ties.

Perhaps that's why Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden is throwing out the first pitch when the Baltimore Orioles host the Washington Nationals at Camden Yards on Monday. It's the first of four games--two in Baltimore, two in Washington--between the two teams next week.

She's practicing in the halls of her Capitol Hill offices.

I'm throwing the opening pitch at the @Orioles @Nationals game on Monday. Practicing my fast ball. https://t.co/2CgR0xTtut pic.twitter.com/k7NXHeetM5

Hayden, the longtime former CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, left that post last year when the Senate confirmed her to serve a 10-year term running the Library of Congress.
