Fever Pitch Strong

Over the years we've seen Jake's Red Sox fan boy pop up.









Today Jake got to do what very few ever get to do.  Throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park.  And to throw it out on Patriot's Day no less.

Jake's been working on Stronger, the story of  Jeff Bauman, who's life was changed from the marathon bombing.  Not only is Jake acting and producing Stronger, he's also getting involved with the Boston community and marathon survivors.

Jake and  Jeff were honorary captains of today's marathon runners for Boston Medical Center where Jeff got his care and recovery.  Last night Jake and Jeff joined the dinner's host former Patriot player Jerod Mayo, Mayor Marty Walsh and Boston Police Commissioner William Evans at the team's pre-race carbo load dinner.   Today the BMC team of 90 runners has raised more than $638,000 toward their $750,000 goal.

Jake and Jeff both threw out the first pitch today, and it was filmed for the movie as well.

After getting some tips from Big Papi and Blake Holt they went out to the mound.



Little girl in Jake's arms is Jeff's daughter Nora.





Jeff and Jake threw the first pitch to players Haley Ramirez and Big Papi David Ortiz respectively.




Jake definitely knows how to handle the baby,  but a baseball?  Well, if you want to see if Jake can bring the heat over the plate check it out here.



If you notice - Jake wore a Boston jersey and Jeff a Red Sox jersey.  For today - it's all about Boston Strong and all the Sox players wore Boston on their chest.

Jake gets to keep the ball, and his personalize jersey.

So Jake you call yourself a Boston fan - and you've thrown out the first pitch at Fenway- it's time to ditch this one - once and for all.



For many they think this day is Boston is all about this line.


But for Boston there is a new line that is even more important.

Jake Sprung out

It must be spring

Jake's pulled out his spring palate of color

April 2014

May 2011

Oh yes the tan trousers that Jake loves so much are back









Along shades of grey - hey....hmmmm... who's all about Shades of Grey...

Jake was seen out with sister Maggie at Georgio Baldi's in Santa Monica on Saturday night.


Would that be called Goose grey?


And then out to see Arcade Fire this week.

Going retro his jacket look like what would happen if a 70's satin jacket and 80's parachute pants had a baby -

And you can't forget the accessories.

Is that Jake's black diamond "engagement" ring?

And of course his "my little pony"



Just a moment

So proud of my Boston.

 You took back what was ours and showed the world what happens when people come together for good.





To the 36,000 runners, 4,000 officers, to the countless volunteers and medical staff , the million spectators and all of us who love that dirty water.



WE ARE BOSTON STRONG

Boston.... you're my home

The thoughts today are all about the hometown.


A horrible, senseless tragedy, on a day that Boston takes so much pride in, Patriot's Day, a day usually filled with cheers, now turned to prayers.   3 lives lost, including an 8 yr child, hundreds injured, a city, a state, a nation, impacted.


And in the hours since, the city has come together, to show what Boston is, what it's made of, what Boston pride truly is...



Today wherever you are, wherever you live, you stopped and thought about all that you are grateful for and all the ones you hold dear.


And no doubt Jake and Austin did the same.



Both  have been here, worked here,  have friends here and made  memories here.











And their love for Boston

 Tonight they join millions around the world doing the same.

Hope to see that B again.






Boston is a tough and resilient town; so are its people. I’m supremely confident that Bostonians will pull together, take care of each other and move forward as one proud city. And as they do, the American people will be with them every single step of the way." -- President Obama
