Alomar to throw Opening Day first pitch

Blue Jays Hall of Famer to be at Bisons Opening Day
April 4, 2013

The Buffalo Bisons are extremely excited to announce the Toronto Blue Jays great and member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame ROBERTO ALOMAR will throw a ceremonial first pitch before the Bisons Opening Day game against the Rochester Red Wings TODAY at Coca-Cola Field.

Alomar's first pitch will be slightly before the scheduled 2:05 p.m. first pitch between the Bisons and Red Wings.

Alomar was a 12-time Major League All-Star and a 10-time Gold Glove winner, more than any other player at second base in baseball history. His number 12 is the only number that has been retired by the Toronto Blue Jays and he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame with the 3rd-highest percentage ever.
