BROOKLINE, Mass. — Although he now resides in Jupiter, Florida, Keegan Bradley is New England born and raised. So, when he was given the opportunity to throw the first pitch at Tuesday’s Boston Red Sox game, he jumped at the opportunity.
“I’ve thrown out the first pitch one other time, but I hadn’t even met my wife yet or, obviously, had no kids,” he said during his Wednesday press conference prior to the start of this week’s U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. “To be out there with them and be on the field and have 20-plus family members there, it was really, really fun.”
His aforementioned wife, Jillian, not only grew up in Vermont, but her uncle is Carlton Fisk. Yes, that Carlton Fisk. Bradley even said the family calls him “Uncle Pudge.”
