Sources told ESPNDallas.com that — with the NBA in the midst of a lockout that has spanned 111 days — at least some hesitation stems from the idea that MLB executives want to stand behind their basketball counterparts and have notified the Rangers that they can’t bestow first-pitch honors on an NBA player.

Major League Baseball insists that the NBA’s labor unrest had no impact on Nowitzki not being selected to throw out the first pitch.

Super lame.  I'm curious who they get in his place.

What does it have to do with then?  Him not being American?  Very lame of the MLB.

That's just plain weird, petty, and pompous.

I can't even think of a decent analogy for what that's like.


Yup

Lame.

Let the man who's team stopped Lebron and Co get some love.

Let Dirk throw out that pitch. He deserves it.

Lame. 

Surprised they don't switch to Mark Cuban to show their 'comradery'    ::)


Besides, who cares about the World Series now that the Brewers are out?   ;)

Dirk is now confirmed to throw out the first pitch for Game 3.
