VIDEO: USA Soccer Star Jermaine Jones Does First Pitch & First Kick


The USA Men’s National Team made it out of pool play and into the knockout round, though their chase for the World Cup fell short as they were defeated by Belgium.

As the World Cup was taking place in Brazil, the Dodgers kept tabs from the U.S. and held their own matches in the Dodger Stadium outfield.



Prior to Friday’s game, Jermaine Jones threw out the ceremonial first pitch before being presented with a soccer ball by Brian Wilson. A.J. Ellis, who caught Jones’ pitch, dropped his glove and transformed into a goalie of sorts just in front of home plate.

Jones didn’t get much on his kick, which allowed the 33-year-old Ellis ample time to track its direction and make the leaping stop.
