His love for baseball is deep.Fenway Park head groundskeeper Dave Mellor visited Thomas in the process of building the field and showed Thomas his World Series rings.Kindelan writes that Thomas attended his first Red Sox game when he was 3 years old and threw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game in 2014. Thomas, who falls asleep listening to baseball games, is an honorary member of the University of Hartfords baseball team.The University of Hartford baseball team, along with hundreds of friends, members and contractors, attended Fantasy Fenways opening game this past Saturday. Windsor police did traffic control and drove shuttles to the Hastings home. Of course, Thomas threw out the first pitch at the ballpark and emulated the pregame routine of David Ortiz, his favorite player.He was 100 percent in his element, said Brad of his son.
