This is so cool! On behalf of his company, CFSBKer Mike Iaia (who is currently a close 3rd among individual Fight Gone Bad fundraisers) got to throw out the first pitch at last Tuesday’s Mets game at CitiField. “As a lifelong crazy Mets fan,” Mike says, “this was certainly one of the coolest moments of my life, and I wanted to share with the other coolest part of my life—this community. My only regret is not being allowed to practice for the 6 months to 6 years it would have taken for me to throw a strike, but I’ll take it. That said, I’m eternally grateful and can die happy now”
