Paul Pierce Can Be Final Ingredient to Los Angeles Clippers' Title Recipe

Paul Pierce is from Inglewood, a stone's throw from the Great Western Forum, where the Los Angeles Lakers played prior to their current occupation of the Staples Center. But you might not have guessed that about Pierce if you'd parachuted into Dodger Stadium on Tuesday.

Pierce, who recently signed with the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent, had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Clippers Night in Chavez Ravine. Rather than warmly welcome a hometown kid hoping to make good, though, fans in the stands treated Pierce to a smattering of boos before and after he bounced the ball to Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen at home plate.
