Promoter Don King is in St. Louis for his four-championship-bout "Gateway to Greatness" card at Scottrade Center on Saturday, so he made it a point to visit Busch Stadium and the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.

King visited Cardinals announcers Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabosky and Dan McLaughlin in the FOX Sports Midwest telecast booth during the game to promote his boxing event and FSMW's telecast premier on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. CT of the 30-minute special "Gateway to Greatness: The Devon Alexander Story."

King and undefeated cruiserweight Ryan "The Irish Outlaw" Coyne (14-0, 4 KOs), from St. Louis, also threw out ceremonial "first pitches" with the help of Cards mascot Fredbird prior to the Cardinals game against the Astros. The Cards won, 8-4.
