Reebok knows how to pull in the crowds. Seriously, 2-year-olds who just learned how to say "mavwick" to 20-something puck worshipers to 80-year-old baseball-lovin' coots are going to line up to score the good seats for the Sixth Annual Reebok Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game this Saturday at Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco. The half-amateur, half-celeb teams will feature the coaching talents of Rollie Fingers and Wade Boggs (if you don't know, shame on you!) and rosters boast the likes of Dallas Stars Mike Modano and Brenden Morrow, Dallas Cowboys Roy Williams and DeMarcus Ware, Dallas Mavericks Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse and owner Mark Cuban, former Texas Ranger Mark McLemore, former Chicago White Sox Ben Grieve, Los Angeles Clipper Elton Brand, and talk about actors: Geoff Stults, George Stults, Kyle Massey, Christopher Massey, Evan Jones, Samuel Page, James Lesure, Antonio Todd and local media personalities. Willa Ford will perform the national anthem. Now, family-friendly tailgating (we're talking giveaways, prizes, games, 103.3 FM ESPN and Radio Disney) begins at 2 p.m. and the celebrity Home Run Derby begins at 5 p.m. on the field. Official game play—and competition for game and MVP bragging rights—begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5, $7, $12 and $15. (Proceeds benefit the Heroes Foundation and the Mike Modano Foundation.) Call 214-373-8000 or visit ticketmaster.com.
