Moody, will throw the ceremonial first pitch before Monday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies.
Pastor Moody and the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas will use the first pitch to spread their message, Project the Positivity, throughout North Texas.

All proceeds from the 50/50 Texas Two Split Raffle will be donated to the Ministers of Justice non-profit organization CityEquity.org.
