The Frankfort, Ill., boy, who was hit on the head by a foul ball at the Cubs' July 10 game, got to meet several big leagues players and threw out a ceremonial first pitch to Ted Lilly on Saturday. DiAngi was struck by a ball off Lilly's bat, and hospitalized.

"It's going to be awesome to see him, and I think the guys will be excited to see him," Lilly said. "This will be a good experience for him. I'm glad he's willing to come back after the experience he had."

Lilly and teammate Derrek Lee had visited Dominic in the hospital after the incident.

"[Lilly] was visibly shaken," said Pete DiAngi, the boy's father. "I believe he brought Derrek for moral support."

Dominic has made great progress, and was not experiencing headaches, his parents said. He didn't know he was going to a Cubs game Saturday, but thought he was headed downtown for a birthday lunch. He arrived at Wrigley wearing his Aramis Ramirez jersey and Cubs cap.

He got to sit in the dugout, and talk to several of the Cubs, including Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Theriot, and Alfonso Soriano.

His parents seemed more excited than Dominic about the experience.

"I can't stop touching the grass," Pete DiAngi said, as he stroked the Wrigley Field turf.
