The 100-year-old baseball fan and World War II veteran threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Men’s Senior Baseball League (MSBL) game this past Sunday.
Supporters, fans and family members showed up to support the veteran at Fairfield Properties Ballpark — home of the Long Island Ducks — in Central Islip, New York.

Levy tossed the pitch to his son, Cory Levy, who’s been a member of the MSBL for 25 years.
Cory Levy shared with Fox News Digital how his father first saw Yogi Berra throw a first pitch for the New York Yankees in 2010 and said, "I could do that."

"Father's Day, every year, even including this year — 100 years old — we have a catch," he said.
