Olympic Gold Medalist Throws First Pitch at Yankees Opener
USA’s Olympics and New Jersey Devils’ fans got a treat at the New York Yankees opening.
Ice hockey player Jack Hughes threw out the first pitch of the game.
He was joined by Arin Frankel, Team USA's ice hockey goalie, who also won gold during the Olympics in Milan. Team USA won 2-1 in a heart-stopping overtime shot, and the crowd went berserk!

Olympic Gold
Jack Hughes made headlines for the winning shot on the goalie to get gold in the Olympics and leaving part of his teeth on the ice following a slap shot to the mouth. He was still grinning ear to ear with the win.

He has since had his teeth fixed.
