Senator Owen H. Johnson applauded granddaughter Eliza as she threw out the first pitch at a Long Island Ducks game on September 15, 2012.  Senator Johnson’s family joined him at Owen Johnson Fan Appreciation Night at Bethpage Ballpark.  Senator Johnson was honored for helping to secure $14.4 million in state funding for the construction of Ducks Stadium, and for the resulting cultural, recreational and economic boon to Suffolk County.
