\u00a0“I truly never felt closer to him than when we\u2019d watch games together,” said Jake Reiner<\/p>\n
\n\tSeven months after legendary director Rob Reiner<\/a> and his wife, photographer Michele Singer, were killed<\/a>, their children Jake\u00a0and\u00a0Romy Reiner stepped up to the plate at Dodgers Stadium to honor them.<\/p>\n \n\tJake, 35, and Romy, 28, both wore jerseys of their father\u2019s favorite baseball team with \u201cReiner\u201d proudly featured on the back and threw out the first pitch during Sunday\u2019s Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox game. (The Red Sox beat the Dodgers 8-4.)<\/p>\n \n\tIn a tribute<\/a> to his parents on Tuesday, Jake looked back at the moment and wrote in a social media post: \u201cThe @dodgers have always been a huge part of our family. My dad and I could talk baseball for hours and I truly never felt closer to him than when we\u2019d watch games together. Dodger Stadium is a place we\u2019d love to come to as a family.\u201d Alongside photos taken of him and his sister on the field, he added, \u201cRomy and I wanted to honor our mom and dad by throwing out a ceremonial first pitch for each of them. We\u2019re grateful the Dodgers helped make this moment so special.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tJake, who co-hosts the Dodgers podcast The Incline, previously opened up about his father<\/a> and his love for the team in an April Substack. \u201cMy connection with him was first built on baseball,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt was my grandfather\u2019s favorite sport, passed down to my dad and then to me. We loved the Dodgers more than anything. We went to so many damn games. I\u2019ll never go to Dodger Stadium again without feeling my dad\u2019s presence and hearing his voice tell me why Shohei Ohtani should never bat in the leadoff spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
