POMONA- Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez, former Yankee pitcher and 4x World Series champion, fired a strike last evening, not at Yankee Stadium, but at Palisades Credit Union Park. Orlando Hernandez, born in Cuba, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the first of a three game series where the Rockland Boulders host the Cuban National team. Through a translator, he said “I feel good to be back in New York… I feel very good. This is a very special day, I had a very good catcher, a lot of good memories, and I thank God for this moment”.
