No cups were needed to catch this ceremonial first pitch.
Tony Capobianco, the photographer who went viral after being conked in the family jewels by an errant ceremonial first pitch at Fenway Park last week, was given a chance at redemption Sunday afternoon by the Eastern League's New Hampshire Fisher Cats - the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays - who invited him to throw a first pitch of his own at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
Capobianco made the most of his opportunity and newfound fame, as he fired a perfect strike from just in front of the mound.
