Former Georgia LB Nakobe Dean throws out first pitch for top Braves rival

Former Georgia LB Nakobe Dean throws out first pitch for top Braves rival Former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Nakobe Dean threw out the first pitch of the Philadelphia Phillies' June 11 home game against the Chicago Cubs. Dean won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles this past NFL season. Dean took advantage of an awesome opportunity to throw a first pitch at a MLB game, which is something most people never get a chance to do. Dean delivered with a pretty good pitch after receiving applause from Philadelphia fans. Georgia fans that are also Atlanta Braves fans may not be ecstatic to see Dean throw out a first pitch for another MLB team, especially since the Phillies are one of the Braves' most hated NL East rivals. However, the chance to throw out a first pitch is not one that almost anybody should ever pass up. Dean, who is from Horn Lake, Mississippi, is not necessarily a Braves fan. Dean delivered the first pitch despite recovering from a torn patellar tendon he suffered during NFL postseason. He has been unable to participate in spring practice with the Eagles and definitely took it easy on his first pitch. Interestingly, Dean has been doing some ballet as part of his rehab to recover from the injury. Dean's first pitch Follow UGAWire on Instagram!

Miami Marlins join efforts to restore defaced Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso mural

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins are joining efforts to restore the defaced mural of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, which was marked with racist graffiti last week. City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King announced Wednesday that she along with the Marlins, Urgent, Inc., Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency and other community activists will lead the restoration at Dorsey Park, where community leaders said a 7-year-old boy first discovered the vandalism last Sunday and asked his mother what the words and the Nazi symbols meant. 'This vile assault was an attack on our values, history, and community,' King said in a statement. 'We are actively working with law enforcement and the public to identify the individual(s) responsible for this intolerable act. However, even in the darkest hours, light finds its way to shine. This is a reminder and testament to the strength of our community, coming together to restore peace, beauty, and pride to this neighborhood.' Police were investigating the incident but have not made any arrests. City workers have since partially covered the murals of Robinson and Miñoso, an Afro-Cuban player, with wooden boards. The murals are along a fence at Dorsey Park, where Negro League teams once played baseball. The Marlins' home ballpark loanDepot park is just a few miles from the park. 'In light of the deeply troubling acts of vandalism at Dorsey Park, the Miami Marlins today proudly stand in solidarity with the City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King, and our local leaders in unequivocally condemning this hateful and racist act,' said Marlins owner Bruce Sherman. 'Dorsey Park is not only a landmark of historical and cultural significance in South Florida — it is a powerful symbol of resilience, pride, and the enduring contributions of trailblazers to the game of baseball.' Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 to become the first Black player. Miñoso became the league's first Afro-Latino player and the first Black player for the Chicago White Sox. The murals have been displayed in the park since 2011 and are a collaboration between artists Kyle Holbrook and Kadir Nelson and various community groups.
