During the event, presented by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Ruth-Tosetti will participate in a moderated pre-game Q&A on the field, throw out a ceremonial first pitch and then meet fans on the main concourse during the game for pictures and autographs.
Ruth-Tosetti lectures about her famous grandfather at various schools, universities and events. She has been an honored guest at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park and various important sports venues and events throughout the United States and Canada.
In addition to Ruth-Tosetti’s appearance, the Patriots are asking fans to bring any baseball mitt(s) to the game for donation to Yogi’s Big Catch Challenge, a Guinness World Record attempt for the Largest Game of Catch on 9/21/25 at the Yogi Berra Museum.
Linda Ruth-Tosetti Meet & Greet Procedure:For meet and greets, the Somerset Patriots use a wristband system. Different colored wristbands will be distributed to fans at a table near section 204 Wall (next to the water fountains) when gates open. Wristbands are on a first come, first served basis and are limited in quantity while supplies last. Once they receive a wristband, fans can enjoy the game until their wristband color is called over the PA system or shown on the scoreboard. When their color is called fans can get on the meet and greet line. Once fans receive their picture/autograph, their wristband will be removed and they can go to their seats to enjoy the game.
