The Red Sox announced late last night that Kevin Millar, the emotional ballast/clown prince from the 2004 championship team, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for Game 7.

Last night, the Sox called on Bill Mueller to do the honors.

Thought Mueller split last year between serving as an assistant to Los Angeles Dodgers GM Ned Colletti and being the team's hitting coach -- he replaced the fired Eddie Murray at mid-season, his playing career is over, due to knee problems.

The same can't be said for Millar, who vested an option for another season with the Baltimore Orioles last month. Wonder how Baltimore management feels about this?
