The Red Sox continue to show their love and support to all of the victims of the horrific bombings during the Boston Marathon last month.

Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs in the mayhem, was wheeled out to the mound at Fenway Park by his rescuer Carlos Arrendondo where they simultaneously threw out the ceremonial first pitches!

Ch-ch-check out the heartwarming moment (above)!

Wheelchair or no wheelchair, Jeff certainly didn't waste the moment as he threw a perfect strike right down the middle to catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia!

It probably didn't hurt that just moments before, he was getting pitching tips from future Hall of Famer and Red Sox legend Pedro Martinez!

We know there isn't supposed to be any crying in baseball, but we DARE you to watch the clip and not get a little choked up!

According to Jose Canseco, he has passed a polygraph test in Texas — with flying colors! He's trying to use it to prove that he's innocent of the rape charges lobbied against him in Las Vegas.

The only problem is, as of right now we're having to take his word for it. We haven't seen an official police report or anything… and we all know that polygraphs aren't 100% accurate. They CAN be beaten! Here's what he tweeted:

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp makes a TON of money for hitting balls out of the park, and now he's found a creative a way to help others with his home runs!

We're kinda surprised that Prince Harry even knows how to play baseball, as it's totally outside the realm of polo and and quail hunting!

LOLz! We kid, we kid — he's a modern Prince, and of course he knows how to throw down on the diamond! He even hit a HOME RUN!

It was even on his first score, and he was wearing a damn suit! He was wearing the hell out of it, by the way. We're surprised the ball didn't just fly out of the park on its own, intimidating by how handsome the Prince was! Ha!

He wasn't just there to play some ball, though. He was visiting Project Coach, a community sports project in East Harlem that is working with the Prince’s Royal Foundation.

So fab fab fab!

Thank GOODNESS this woman was there and knew what to do! How scary would this be???

Maureen Renaghan was just a spectator in the stands at a little league game on Saturday, when she saw one of the players collapse on the field. She jumped into action as fast as she could - and his breathing had stopped for close to a minute!

She saved Ian McGreevey's life!

Maureen was there because her husband was coaching the opposing team. When she saw Ian collapse after being hit in the chest with the ball while preparing to steal third, she didn't hesitate to go help. Here's what she said:
