The Reebok Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game
We play baseball to benefit two great causes: The Mike Modano Foundation and the Little Heroes Foundation.
Two baseball teams, each made up of 10 Celebrity Players and 10 amateurs. Hard-charging, umpires umping, trash-talking, uniform-wearing, managers managing, base-stealing, home run hitting, nine inning, authentic BASEBALL. This ain't no sissy softball game.
