Matt Taven has been Ring Of Honor World Champion for 100 days. To celebrate this achievement Taven got to throw out the first pitch at a Boston Red Sox home game. Taven is from Massachusetts, so this was quite an honor for him.
Taven celebrated his 100th day as ROH World Champion by throwing out the first pitch before last night’s Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park.

Wearing a Red Sox jersey with No. 69 (naturally) on it and the ROH World Championship belt around his waist, Taven fired a strike to home plate from the mound.
As a lifelong Red Sox fan, throwing out the first pitch at Fenway park was a thrill for the New England native.
“I’ve lived in New England my entire life, and Fenway Park’s like a cathedral,” Taven said. “I vividly remember getting pulled out of school as a kid to come to Red Sox games, and I try to make it out to a Red Sox game every year. And now I’m coming back as the Ring of Honor World Champion to throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park. Life’s good, man.”
Taven, one of only two Grand Slam champions in ROH, is now a member of another exclusive club. He joins Women of Honor World Champion Kelly Klein and former ROH World Champions Jay Lethal and Christopher Daniels as ROH stars who have thrown out the first pitch at a Major League ballpark.
