American swimmer Katie Hoff, a two-time Olympian who won two bronze medals and a silver at the 2008 Games in Beijing, threw out the first pitch before the Tampa Bay Rays closed a series with the Yankees at Tropicana Field Sunday.  Waiting for her at home plate was her boyfriend Todd Anderson, who dropped to one knee and proposed on the spot. Hoff said yes.
