\u201cI\u2019m so happy to represent the Army during its 250th birthday and it\u2019s just great to be at a baseball game,\u201d said Landes. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing more American than baseball, apple pie and just celebrating the Army\u2019s 250th birthday. It was really special to represent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bisinger stepped onto the field during the 3rd inning and was honored near first base. There he briefly met with Jason Bourgeois, White Sox first base coach.<\/p>\n

Bisinger enlisted in 2005 and served as a military police officer with five overseas deployments.<\/p>\n
