David Ortiz Throws Out First Pitch at Red Sox-Yankees Game in Fenway Return

Red Sox legend David Ortiz threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Monday's game against the Yankees at Fenway Park in Boston.

It marked Ortiz's first public appearance at Fenway since he was shot while at a night club in the Dominican Republic on June 9. He had been at Massachusetts General Hospital since June 10 after he was transported from the Dominican Republic. He underwent multiple surgeries related to the gunshot wound and complications from the shooting.

Several Yankees players visited Ortiz at his home this week after arriving in Boston for the series.
