| For
the past 17 years, the Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Society, in
conjunction with Xentel DM Inc., have played a charity slo-pitch game
against a team comprized of sports celebrities.
Baseball greats such as Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Ferguson Jenkins, Denis
Boucher, Omar Moreno; and CFL greats
Tony Gabriel, Glenn Harper, Alondra Johnson and Bob Poley have participated.
This year the Celebrity Baseball game was held on Thursday, July 31st at Burns Stadium and raised $17,500.00 for the Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Centre. The friendly rivalry between teams was evident, but good sportsmanship and fun were the theme of the day. Kids and adults alike were entertained by the mascots and festivities. Two skilled dog teams displayed their finesse at running an obstacle course between innings. The day wrapped up with a BBQ and beverages.
