Kahan’s daughter, Livia Wein, said that
watching her mother throw out the pitch
was one of the best things she has ever
experienced. “It was probably the coolest thing for our
entire family,” Wein said. “Having a lot of
our friends in the stands also made it very
special.” Kahan and Wein are both avid Rays fans;
however, Kahan prefers to keep her favorite
player a secret. She said it was a pleasure
to meet several of the players and coaches
before the game.

In addition to honoring Kahan, the Rays
announced a $10,000 partnership grant
with the Florida Holocaust Museum during
the pregame festivities. Kahan has been
a longtime volunteer educator at the St.

Petersburg museum.

Whether it was Kahan’s charisma and coura-
geous spirit or simply great defense and
timely hitting, the Rays defeated their rival
Yankees by a final score of 5-4. ■
