Former Detroit Tigers pitcher and 1968 World Series champion John Hiller walks to the pitcher’s mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the 2021 Felch Labor Day Championship title game at Felch Memorial Field on Sept. 6. Hiller, an Iron Mountain resident, who was a participant in the Felch tournament in the early 1980s, was honored with a plaque and gave a heartfelt, sincere and amusing talk to the championship Monday crowd prior to throwing out the first pitch.
