Coast-to-Coast - Dale Scott's Pride Night First Pitches
Earlier this month, retired MLB umpire Dale Scott threw the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium as part of Los Angeles' LGBT Night festivities and Wednesday, Scott threw the first pitch during Pride Night at Baltimore's Camden Yards, capping off a month of activity that also saw Scott on the MLB float at the New York Pride Parade.
The below videos feature Scott's interview and first pitch ceremony at Dodger Stadium from the June 8 pre-game and a highlight package in Baltimore when he threw the first pitch prior to June 27's Orioles game.
Of note, Scott's first pitch at Dodger Stadium—Dale grew up as a Dodgers fan, but assures us all there was never any bias—featured Bill Miller as catcher...and Angel Hernandez as the late-arriving home plate umpire...marking the most unusual of first pitches to have an all-umpire battery.
