Manchester, N.H. - Before Wednesday night's Red Sox - Cardinals game at Fenway Park, photographer Tony Capobianco was hit below the belt with a ceremonial first pitch, resulting in one of the summer's most viral videos.
After a speedy recovery -- and a great photo -- Capobianco is ready to throw a first pitch of his own. He'll take the mound before Sunday's New Hampshire Fisher Cats game at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, which is scheduled to begin at 1:35 p.m.
In addition to his work as a photographer at Fenway Park, Capobianco has been a mainstay at Fisher Cats games this season, taking photos for the team and a variety of news outlets.
"We've enjoyed having Tony around the ballpark this year, and we're happy to recognize him on Sunday," said Fisher Cats President Mike Ramshaw. "And what a pro; if that ball is coming my way, I'm ducking for cover. He hung in there and got one of the best photos of the season, and he's taken this all in stride."
The team has agreed to clear the area behind home plate of any unintended targets.

The Fisher Cats current homestand continues through Sunday, with Atlas Fireworks on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. With just eight home games remaining in 2017, fans can purchase tickets at nhfishercats.com/tickets or by calling (603) 641-2005.
