John Henry explains losing his balance on Dice-K toss

By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff

Before the press conference John Henry threw a pitch to Dice-K from about 35 feet from the Fenway mound, but Henry lost his balance as the pitch was coming in and nearly fell on his backside.

Henry was asked whether he was thrown Matsuzaka's fictional gyroball.

"We didn't go over signals before hand. I put down four fingers and I was expecting a change-up. He crossed me up," Henry said.
