On Thursday, just before a series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Washington Nationals held Hispanic Heritage Day to honor the great Roberto Clemente as part of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15th until October 15th.
In the pre-game ceremonies, the Nats also invited “the woman who saved baseball,” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
She was escorted out to the mound by Juan Soto while manager Dave Martinez was behind home plate to catch the pitch.
A cool moment for all involved as they honored their Hispanic heritage.
