Austin Rivers threw out the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium on Monday night. It was Clippers Night which meant all the Lakers fans in attendance booed.
The Dodger holding Clippers Night, and once again a Clipper is booed at Dodger Stadium, Austin Rivers, no wonder most Clips don't show up..

It was apparently the first time he’d thrown a baseball or even been to a game. Rivers took to it just like he did basketball, dropping the ball on the mound before lobbing one in the general vicinity of the plate. You can watch the entire experiment over at NBA.com.
