Sixty years ago, die-hard New York Yankees fan Gwen Goldman asked the team if she could serve as the team's bat girl for a night.
On Monday, she finally got her wish.
Initially told no because she's a girl, a beaming 70-year-old Goldman donned Yankees pinstripes for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. In addition to serving as bat girl, Goldman had the honor of throwing out the first pitch.
Tonight’s 12th Edition of #HOPEWeek kicked off with honoree Gwen Goldman throwing out the first pitch.
