Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman was on hand at Fenway Park to throw out the first pitch Monday on Patriots' Day. Bauman, who lost both of his legs in the bombing, helped give a description of one of the terrorists during the 2013 attack.

Bauman was joined by actor Jack Gyllenhaal, both of whom are working on a movie together. Bauman proceeded to throw a perfect strike to Hanley Ramirez, who pointed at him and gave him a big smile after the toss. Ramirez walked over to Bauman and gave him a hug while the Boston crowd gave him a standing ovation.
