Corey Lidle is gone, but will not be forgotten by the Yankees. It was previously announced that the Yankees will wear black arm bands this season to honor their fallen teammate. The team has now officially announced that Corey's widow Melinda and their son Christopher will throw out the ceremonial first pitches on opening day. The team will also pay tribute to Lidle prior to Monday's game with the Devil Rays.
Lidle's parents and twin brother Kevin will also be in attendance.
The West Point Color Guard will present the US Flag, a pair of Navy F-18 fighters will fly over, and another West Pointer will sing the National Anthem. Stadium favorite Ronan Tynan will perform God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch.
