Overview
- Jake Reiner and his sister Romy took the mound at Dodger Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 2, to throw ceremonial first pitches in memory of their parents Rob and Michele Reiner.
- The siblings wore jerseys reading “Reiner,” hugged on the field and posed with Dodgers players after Jake’s pitch crossed the plate and Romy’s sailed slightly wide.
- Their brother Nick remains jailed without bail on two counts of first-degree murder, has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 15.
- Jake has publicly processed his grief in an April Substack essay and has resumed limited public work, including returning to his Dodgers podcast in May.
- The tribute recalled the family’s roughly 60-year connection to the Dodgers and kept attention on both personal mourning and the legal process that will determine criminal responsibility.
