Citi Field apparently opened on Sunday with a game between St. John’s and Georgetown. From the New York Times article about the game:

Amid all the new touches, there was a familiar face. John Franco marched out to deliver the first pitch, peeling off his blue Mets warm-up jacket to reveal a bright red jersey from St. John’s, his alma mater. Franco promptly threw his pitch into the dirt, but the fans applauded him anyway.

It’s nice to see that the pitches Franco throws in retirement are so similar to those he threw during his career.
