Josh Hamilton to catch Cooper Stone's pitch By Richard Durrett ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton will catch 6-year-old Cooper Stone's ceremonial first pitch on Friday. Cooper is the son of Shannon Stone, the Brownwood firefighter who passed away on July 7 from injuries sustained in fall over the left-field rail. Stone was trying to catch a foul ball tossed to him by Hamilton and fell about 20 feet. Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan said Hamilton is Stone's favorite player and that he checked with Hamilton, who said he'd like to do it. "We felt it was very appropriate to have him come out," Ryan said. "He represents what we believe we're about. He is a very died-in-the-wool Ranger fan. We're honored that they were willing to come out and share the day with us." Ryan said he's remained in contact with Stone's widow, Jenny, and talked to her again right before the season ended. They talked about Cooper coming out near the end of the season and settled on this postseason game. This is his first time back to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington since July 7. "She had indicated to me earlier in the summer that Cooper was wanting to come out to a game, but she wasn't ready to deal with it," Ryan said. "But she told me she felt like before the season was over, she would bring him back because she felt like that was in his best interest and that's what he wanted to do." Ryan called and asked if they wanted to come out for the last homestand or if he would want to throw out a pitch. He said they felt this was appropriate. 今天ALDS在阿靈頓主場的Game1 將由7/7因跌落看台過世的Shannon Stone的兒子 6歲的Cooper Stone開球，而Hammy接捕 自從7/7這件不幸的事件發生後 這是小Stone首次來到條子主場看球 Hammy是Stone最喜愛的球員 Stone的媽咪一開始曾經還沒準備好要帶兒子再來看球賽 但是後來還是選擇來了，因為她知道看棒球這是兒子最有興趣的事 第一場開球真是感傷又溫馨啊...QQ -- ◢█ a █◣ ╮ ╭═◢◆══╮ ╭ ◢█ ◣ ◢█ ◣ ════╮ █▌ █ ╰theanswer3╯☆ █ ◣╰══════╯ █▋ █ █▌ █ ╴◤ ◣ █▌th█e◢█◣ ◣ █◣ ◣ █ ◥█◣ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢ ◤ █ ╴─◥▄ ████ █◢█a█n██s█w█er3█ █▌█ ███ ◥ ◣ ◢ ◤˙／＼3 ║ █▌ █ ◥◤◥ ◥ ▌◤ ◥ █ ◥◆ ◥█◤ ◥▌◤ █▌ █ ◢◤ ▄ ╱〈 ║ ◥██ █◤ ════════◆◤══════════ ◥█ ◤ ██ █ ════╯ --
