This is great news. @calvertphoto has been battling cancer and to know he can throw out the first pitch for the Reno Aces is wonderful. I'll be there in spirit!

[David Calvert @calvertphoto]

Save the date! I’m throwing out the first pitch at 6:30 p.m. if I make it over the plate they’ll probably just leave me out there. I’ve got two or three innings in me.
