The Houston Astros honored Raymond with the title “Hometown Hero” and a ceremonial first pitch. Given to one Houston-area citizen each month during the Major League Baseball season, this award recognizes those who have “gone over and beyond and performed extraordinary acts within their communities.” And about that ceremonial first pitch? An iffy strike.
