Batter up: MGHers throw the first pitch

An MGH all-star team had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Red Sox vs. the Seattle Mariners game May 6. The six MGH doctors and nurses were selected for being primary caregivers of Terry Francona, team manager for the Red Sox, who was hospitalized in early April.
