Myles Turner, a native Texan, got the opportunity to throw out the first pitch

at the Rangers game on Wednesday night. Shortly before making the pitch, Turner

gave a preview to Rangers fans through their team Twitter feed. Bedford native &

Turner’s pitch wasn’t exactly a strike, sailing just a bit outside and past the

Fenway..missed his target, by just a little bit. #RedSox
