There is at least two people Houston is felt should be on the list that were not included, those two being Houston’s own “Mattress Mack” and the Catholic Nuns from our local Catholic Church (we love all of them here at VEDA Magazine dearly). MLB sponsored baseball games like these are more than sporting events. The MLB sponsored baseball games like this give any and all proceeds earned to various academic scholarship funds, and charitable organizations such as the Travis Scott Cactus Jack Foundation and project H.E.A.L. Initiative.
So which celebrity softball team is going to win tonight at Minute Maid Park – who knows? But the one thing that we all know is that everyone who attends will have a great time. Ballpark gates open at 6:00pm. The Homerun Derby starts at 7:00pm, and the celebrity softball game starts at 7:30pm. Tickets for all Cactus Jack Foundation HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic games start at $10.00. See you tonight at Minute Maid Park for the Cactus Jack Foundation HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic.
