Star forward Steven Stamkos and Tampa Bay Lightning teammates Teddy Purcell, Nate Thompson and Mike Smith will take batting practice and throw out the first pitch for Thursday's Tampa Bay Rays game against the Boston Red Sox.

The Rays had been looking for an opportunity to honor the Lightning for their playoff run.

Stamkos played baseball through high school and claims that he was a pretty good hitter.
