Ceremonial first pitches at Dodger Stadium have been a star-studded affair this World Series and Game 7 was no exception. 

Before the ultimate game of the series, the Dodgers invited two of their most accomplished pitchers in franchise history—Sandy Koufax and Don Newcombe. 

Koufax and Newcombe delivered a pair of strikes to Rick Monday and Steve Garvey, Dodgers World Series champs from another generation. 

Dodgers fans might have been more excited to see Vin Scully at Game 2 but you have to love that 81-year-old Koufax and 91-year-old Newcombe are still looking spry.
