As you'll recall, nearly the entire Kings squad visited Dodger Stadium after their Stanley Cup victory in 2012 (check out my post on that here). This time around, a much smaller contingent made out to the game for a ceremony and public celebration.

Before the start of the game they took some batting practice at Dodger Stadium. Defenseman Matt Greene, who famously stayed in the Dodgers dugout in full uniform during the Stanley Cup celebration in 2012, is putting on batting gloves in the photo below. I believe Jarret Stoll (left) and Drew Doughty (right) have their back to us.

In the meantime, Don Mattingly came out to meet the boys. From left to right: Tanner Pearson, Mattingly, Mike Richards and Martin Jones.

So, how did the Kings players perform with a bat instead of a graphite stick? Jon Rosen of the LA Kings Insider lets us know on twitter.

Considering the Dodgers recent woes, we might have to sign up Carter for the summer.

Here are some more pics I found featuring the Kings and Dodgers with the Cup on social media. BTW, you can go here to check out all of the photos taken by Dodger photographer Jon SooHoo; including a bunch of pics featuring the Cup with some Dodger players.

Check out Justin Turner with Lord Stanley below.
Drew Butera then had his turn.
Of course, you know Yasiel Puig wouldn't miss the fun.
