See you there!

Charity softball game a hit

Thanks to coach Jeff Fisher, Soles4Souls was able to collect over 400 pairs of shoes at the seventh annual “Jeff Fisher & Friends” Charity Softball Game. Fisher, who is very excited about the cause, invited the local charity to collect new and 'gently worn shoes' to be distributed locally and to poverty stricken areas all over the world.

The annual Tennessee Titans charity softball game may have ended in a tie, but everyone came out a winner. Fans packed Greer Stadium Saturday night for the chance to watch their favorite Titans compete in the game that featured present and former members of the Tennessee Titans. Players competed against one another on the baseball diamond, while also helping the community.

Around 25 Titans came out to support their head coach, including Vince Young, Ben Troupe and Chris Hope. They were joined by former Titans Eddie George and Chris Sanders.

“I wanted to come out because this is a good thing for charity and I also wanted to help Coach Fisher out,” said Chris Brown. “Anything that has to do with charity and is a positive influence I am more than happy to help. I’m definitely happy to be back.”

Former Titan and fan favorite Eddie George received a warm welcome from the crowd, with chants of “Eddie, Eddie” as he was introduced in the lineup.

“It’s always good to come out and support Coach Fisher, whatever he is doing,” said George. “It’s been a while since I’ve been around these guys, so it’s always good.”

For the first time in seven years, the game ended in a tie. After playing 11 innings, with the score tied 8-8, Fisher decided to call it a game. That didn't seem to bother anybody as everyone had a great time supporting all Titans and the local charities.

Soles4Souls is looking forward to future endeavors with the community minded Titans. Stay tuned!
