Braxton Berrios might’ve signed with the wrong New York team this offseason. Perhaps the Mets and Yankees should have sought his services.
The New York Jets‘ special teams standout made a different kind of return last Friday night, making an appearance at the University of Miami’s baseball game against the Virginia Cavaliers. Berrios was invited to throw out the first pitch, which opened not only the Hurricanes’ 6-2 win but a weekend sweep of UVA at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field.
For his moment on the mound, Berrios donned the jacket of Miami’s Iron Arrow Honor Society, whose members strive for “the protection, improvement, and general welfare of the University”.
