David Testo Throws Out First Pitch at Blue Jays Game

David Testo threw out the first pitch at Thursday night’s Toronto Blue Jays game, the first home appearance of Yunel Escobar after a suspension for homophobic messages on his eye black.

Escobar displayed the message “Tu ere maricon” and was suspended for three games, and was given a $82,000 fine that was donated to GLAAD and the You Can Play Project. Prior to his return to his home field, he met with out distance runner Jose Estevez, along with You Can Play Founder Patrick Burke.

Testo threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game to shortstop Escobar.

David Testo is also the subject of a long form profile featured on SBNation Friday.
