Autism Speaks charity softball game

I'm always up for charities whether it's running marathons, fishing, meeting and speaking to kids so when I was asked to play in the Autism softball game you know I was down. I've done softball charities before I did a Junior Achievement softball event two years ago before I was signed with WWE with Hacksaw Jim Duggan and George "The Animal" Steele. Boy was that a treat for me not only would we raise money for children's education I'd also get to meet some Legends in the business. This time around the setting was at the Brooklyn Cyclone's field, Beautiful field if I do say so myself. I was told I'd be playing with peps from The CW and NBC. Since I used to be on The CW I'd be on thier team which was fine by me since they have never lost and I planned on keeping that record going. I was kind of nervous though I haven't thrown a ball or swung a bat in 2 years. Now I was captain of my high school baseball team but I wasn't sure if the rust would come off quick enough.

As soon as I got there I found out that Dee Snyder was on my team. Yes, the lead singer of Twisted Sister would be playing second base while I'm at first. How great is that? Back in the 80's I was a huge hair metal fan. I didn't have the hair or the look but I watched MTV religiously and rocked out with the bands on TV. Twisted Sister was one of my favorites so to play ball with him was an honor. It was really cool seeing him with his family. They seemed like such a happy one. I love seeing that because I always thought the life of a rock star is partying and having as many women as possible. His family was so supportive whenever he was at bat they'd cheer and have signs. His little girl was so cute. So fun seeing the real life of a rock star.

My team consisted of 17 players all from the entertainment field singers, football players, news peps ect. The NBC team had Horatio Sanz SNL Alum, peps from 30 rock, NBC news. I was told some women news anchors from NBC were really hot like so hot that they are talked about all over the New York area so I was pretty excited to meet them and spit some game probably wouldn't have to though seeing I'm a chick magnet. To their disappointment they didn't get to meet me because they had to be in LA for something. Poor them.

The game started and this game was a pitchers duel. Yes I said it correctly in softball where pitchers lob the ball people were hitting grounders and pop flies like crazy. I got up in the second inning and was thinking my god is it really that hard to hit this ball. I walked up to the batters box, paused, lifted my hand, and pointed to right field (i'm a lefty for those that didn't know). Yes, I was calling my shot. The pitch came and I knocked the crap out of it. I thought it was gone hell I stood at home plate with my Barry Bonds pose then started walking, however, the wind must of caught it or something because it landed and bounced over the fence so I ended up with a ground roll double. The next time I did the same call but only got a line drive hit. Both times I scored and I ended up being the only person to score in the entire game and we went 9 innings. I never heard of a softball game's score being 2-0. Terrible right.

The fans were great I swear WWE fans come out to everything which is fantastic because this charity was for a very good cause. I signed autographs while watching people hit. I must say WWE fans will have you sign anything. I was signing shirts, balls, paper fans, anything they could get their hands on. Its all good though if they are helping get awareness for Autism out there then I'll sign whatever.

All in all I had a blast eventhough I did get gipt out of MVP. LOL... We raised quite a bit of money and got the word out what more can you ask for. I guess those hot NBC news anchors but hey they missed out for I am a chick magnet. Chicks dig me and their men fear me because you can be good. You can be bad. But there's nothing like being The Miz.... HOO RAH!!!
