A collection of Nashville's top music stars and athletes got together earlier this week for the annual City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge at the city's Greer Stadium. The game, which raised money for a number of local charities, featured an impressive roster, including Joe Nichols, Carrie Underwood and Julianne Hough.
A handful of local athletes also turned up for the game, including the Tennessee Titans Cortland Finnegan and Eugene Amano, and the Nashville Predators' J.P. Dumont and Wade Belak.
"I think if you take this game seriously, and start looking at it like competitively, I guess is the word I'm looking for, then things usually go haywire and so, my goal today is just to not look like a total dork or fall down or do something incredibly embarrassing," Nichols said of the event, which took place Monday night.
The annual event supports Nashville Children's Alliance, Mercy Ministries, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It has raised over $2 million dollars in its twenty-year run.
"I think I could probably put one out of this park or arena or whatever they call these things," Belak said before knocking one out of the park. "I haven't played in eight years. I wasn't a big ball player, and I will be tonight though."
