a Los Angeles Dodgers game. Hight threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Automobile Club of Southern California representative Jeff Prokop and soaked up the on-field atmosphere prior to the first official pitch.

“I threw it right down Broadway. It was an awesome experience. As a life long Dodgers fan it doesn’t get much better than being able to throw out the first pitch at a game that the Dodgers eventually go on to win in a shutout,” said Hight.

After the on-field activities were concluded Hight retired not to the dugout but to a suite where he was joined by Auto Club representatives, John Force Racing employees and his family, wife Adria and daughter Autumn. During the game, which the Dodgers won 4-0 over intra-state rivals San Francisco Giants, Hight and his guests were joined by Dodger greats Ron Cey, “Sweet” Lou Johnson and Ken Landreaux.
