100-year-old WWII veteran throws first pitch at Long Island Ducks ballpark

Henry Levy, 100 years old, enjoyed a dream come true recently on a New York ballfield.

Henry Levy got to take his love of baseball to the next level.

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.
