Reiner siblings honor murdered parents with first pitches at Dodgers game

Jake and Romy Reiner threw ceremonial first pitches for the Dodgers, paying tribute to their parents who were slain in 2025.

At Dodger Stadium, Jake and Romy Reiner honored their late parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, by delivering ceremonial first pitches before the Dodgers faced the Boston Red Sox. Wearing custom "Reiner" jerseys, Jake’s pitch landed near the plate while Romy’s missed slightly, and both were retrieved by Dodgers players Alex Call and Miguel Rojas. The tribute follows the December 2025 murders of their parents in Brentwood, Los Angeles, a case that has kept their younger brother Nick Reiner in custody as the alleged perpetrator.

Jake recently opened up about his connection to his father through baseball on a Dodgers podcast, recalling shared games and memories. Romy has so far stayed out of the public eye regarding the tragedy. The event underscores the family's ongoing grief and the community’s support.

Why it matters

The tribute highlights a family's public mourning and the role of sports in personal healing after a high-profile murder.
