Triple Crown trainer Bob Baffert tosses 1st pitch at Dodgers (The Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bob Baffert took a victory lap at Dodger Stadium, tossing out the ceremonial first pitch in celebration of American Pharoah's Triple Crown victory.

The white-haired trainer wore a Dodgers jersey with his name on the back and brought his 10-year-old son Bode to the mound Tuesday night. Baffert's throw to the plate was high and away, but catcher A.J. Ellis snagged it.

Baffert was greeted by ace Clayton Kershaw and manager Don Mattingly before the game against his home state Arizona Diamondbacks. He grew up in the border city of Nogales, Arizona.
