Kings' Martinez, Teammates To Throw Out First Pitch For Dodgers-Padres Game

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Stanley Cup champs are bringing their winning ways to Chavez Ravine for Monday night's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.

Alec Martinez, who scored the goal that gave the Los Angeles Kings their second Stanley Cup in three seasons, is expected to be joined by teammates Tyler Toffoli, Tanner Pearson and Martin Jones in throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before tonight's game.

As part of Los Angeles Kings Night, team mascot Bailey and the Ice Crew will also be on hand to start the three-game series against the Padres, which will kick off a special Dodger Stadium menu that includes a special extreme loaded hot dog, the Surf and Turf Dog, an all-beef hot dog with bay shrimp salad, shredded green cabbage and Kewpie mayonnaise slaw.

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jeremy Redfern will be honored as the Veteran of the Game. Redfern joined the Air Force in 2008 and is an explosive ordnance disposal instructor at Elgin Air Force Base in Florida.

Redfern served two deployments in Afghanistan. His accolades include the Air Force Commendation Medal with Valor and two Oak Leaf Clusters and the Air Force Combat Action Medal.
