It was a pleasure this weekend to be a part of the Steve Garvey Celebrity Softball Classic
Over the weekend I took part in a Celebrity Softball game put on by Steve Garvey in order to help raise money and awareness for Lou Gherrig’s disease (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). It was a heck of a great day at Pepperdine and there were plenty of people that came out to take part in the event. Steve Garvey, Carl Weathers, Jose Canseco, Pete Rose, Tommy Lasorda and Maury Wills and plenty of other famous-types were on hand to help bring in money to help fight this disease.
Above is a picture with me and the great Pete Rose, gotta love it!
Hey Verne:
Im the person who created the youth baseball tournament and opening day event that you came to. Thanks so much for being a part of it. Everyone loved having you there and you brought the press out so that more people became aware of this disease. Would love to call on you again to be a part of helping strike out Lou Gehrig’s Disease. We just finished up 3 days of games which were highly successful. Keep in touch. Patrick McMinn
