Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium this weekend.

Sotomayor, a Yankee fan from the Bronx, is scheduled to appear at Saturday's game between the Yankees and Red Sox.

As a U.S. District Judge in 1995, Sotomayor issued an injunction that led baseball players to end their strike after 7? months.
