In this photo, possibly taken on May 20, 2005, Mayor elect Villaraigosa is seen throwing the ceremonial pitch for an unidentified game at Dodger Stadium. He wears a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball jersey with the number "05". Looking closely, one can see that although he is pitching, he is not standing on the pitchers' mound.
