Former St. John's baseball star honored ahead of Field of Dreams Game
After nearly making his big-league debut in 2008, but never pitching in the MLB, Shrewsbury resident Tim Lahey threw out a first pitch at a recent Phillies game as an ode to the Field of Dreams Game.
Former St. John's baseball player Tim Lahey was honored this past weekend ahead of the MLB Field of Dreams Game. Despite never appearing in a Major League Baseball game, Lahey was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch along with three other former Phillies players. Lahey, a 2000 St. John's grad, was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2004 and later converted to pitching.
He made it to Triple-A Rochester but was never called upon in the majors. Lahey, now 44, expressed gratitude for his baseball experience and the opportunity to celebrate with his family at the Phillies' alumni weekend.
