We are so excited to have Eric Bass of the band Shinedown as the latest celeb to say yes to our request to play ball with us on October 1!
I have become obsessed with listening to their music in the office. Got sad when I realized I needed to turn it down when the lady in the office next to mine came to work. Listen to my favorite song here

Make sure to like them on Facebook and tell him ‘thank you’ for supporting our great cause and kids! Looking forward to seeing all of our great players in a few weeks!
