Wounded Denver police Sgt. Tony Lopez Jr., who was shot several times during a December traffic stop, threw out the Rockies' ceremonial first pitch at the team's home opener on Friday.
Lopez was wearing a Rockies jersey with his name on the back and walked onto the field with the help of crutches and a brace on his left leg.
The Coors Field crowd gave Lopez booming applause after he tossed a perfect strike.
