The 16-year-old Plano resident was honored before the Rangers’ game against the Yankees on Wednesday.
Olympic Gold medalist Hezly Rivera from Plano does a side flip before throwing out a ceremonial first pitch before a baseball game between the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees at Globe Life Field, Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024 in Arlington.
“A little bit nerve-wracking,” said Rivera, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesday’s game vs. the New York Yankees at Globe Life Field. “because I don’t do baseball, but it was such a great experience, it was so fun. I didn’t think I could actually throw straight and throw that well, so I’m proud of myself.”That undersells it. Rivera executed a flip — more specifically, a side aerial — before she threw a strike to Rangers infielder Justin Foscue at home plate.
