On June 3, 1966, Jack Kent Cooke's hockey club was officially named the @LAKings. Harry J. Mullen of Pasadena was credited for coming up with the name, and received a color television, radio, and season tickets as prizes in a contest to name the team.

More indoor baseball from Phoenix.
@Dodgers vs. @Dbacks with Rick Monday & me first pitch at 6:40 PT on @AM570LASports & the #Dodgers Audio Network.
YES. 6th save in 7 tries so far this season by Tanner. Great heads up play to get the second out of the 9th.
I don’t want to hear any cowards sending his family death threats via DM on his Instagram. It’s beyond fucking pathetic. #Dodgers
On June 1, 2014, the @LAKings beat the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-4, in Game 7 of the Western Conference Final. Alec Martinez scored the game-winning goal in overtime, and the #LAKings became the first team in NHL playoff history to win three Game 7s on the road.

All MLB has to do to “level the playing field” is force all revenue sharing teams to spend their revenue sharing on TALENT. That was the original purpose of revenue sharing. Revenue sharing teams have taken advantage of the system & MLB currently can’t do anything about it.
"I don’t think of Fernando Valenzuela being born so much as he was touched by the heavens and his left arm was turned into an artistic masterpiece as beautiful and creative as any work of art or a classic piano concerto."
Jorge Martin.
"I truly believe that there is no other player in major league history who created more new fans than Fernando Valenzuela.
Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Joe DiMaggio, even Babe Ruth did not.
Fernando turned so many people from Mexico, Central America, South America into fans."
Spanish announcer Jaime Jarrin.
"He made being a left hander cool.
In rural Mexico, they would beat 'left handed-ness' out of you.
After Fernando, fathers were trying to make their kids into left handers even if they were right handers.”
Gustavo Arellano.
"El Toro."
Rick Barry hit 90% of his free throws during his NBA career shooting “granny style” and nobody else has committed to it in the almost 50 years since. I find that insane.
It’s a beautiful day for a ball game! 🎼🎶
We’re at the Ravine to see Yamamoto pitch what we hope will be a gem to win the series. 💙⚾️ Let’s go #Dodgers 👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Miggy Rojas just said on @ESPNLosAngeles radio that Kyle Karros gave him a hug and bottle of scotch after Monday night's game.😂😂
Kyle hit a three-run shot on Miggy.
