Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, winner of a gold medal on the balance beam last summer in Beijing and recently crowned champion on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ will throw out the first pitch at Monday’s Dodgers-Diamondbacks game at Dodger Stadium. The game is at 7:10 p.m.

We’ll see whether the Dodgers dress Johnson in a baseball uniform. The 17-year-old got all fitted out in NASCAR gear last week when she made a guest appearance at the Coca-Cola 600.
