Plans are in the works for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy to throw out the ceremonial first pitch when the Red Sox host the Tampa Bay Rays Monday afternoon at Fenway Park for the season-opener, The Boston Herald reported.
Kennedy has been battling brain cancer for the past year, but returned to Washington last week after spending much of the winter in Florida.
However, the weather forecast for Monday is for a cold, rainy day and it's not known if that might prevent Kennedy from appearing.
Kennedy’s day-to-day schedule is sometimes uncertain because of his health. When the senator addressed the Democratic National Convention last August, his appearance was not definite until he actually took the stage.
He now walks slowly, often using a cane and his voice is sometimes not as strong as in the past.
