For the 12th year, two baseball teams, each made up of celebrity players and amateurs, will slug it out for nine innings of hard-charging, umpires-umpping, trash-talking, uniform-wearing, base-stealing, home run-hitting, authentic baseball!
A fleet of famous faces, sport stars and local luminaries will include Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks MVP and 2011 NBA champion), Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner and shark investor on TV series Shark Tank), Brian Cardinal (former Dallas Mavericks forward and 2011 NBA champion), Devin Harris (Atlanta Hawks guard and former Dallas Maverick), Eduardo Najera (Texas Legends coach and former Dallas Mavericks and OU standout), Terrell Owens (former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro wide receiver), Seneca Williams (New Orleans Saints quarterback), Michael Turner (former Atlanta Falcons running back), Michael Finley (former Dallas Mavericks All-Star) and Donnie Nelson (Dallas Mavericks president and GM) and more. Goose Gossage (MLB Hall of Fame pitcher and nine-time All-Star) and David Justice (former MLB outfielder and three-time All-Star) will be the team managers.
