They're pros at the mike--but how are they at bat? Some of your favorite country stars brought it at the 16th annual City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge. And some of them...well, let's just say it's a good thing they can sing! At this unofficial kick-off to the CMA Music Festival, the Grand Ole Opry Live team, led by team captain Vince Gill, narrowly won the game, beating the After Midnite with Blair Garner team 8 to 7. But there were no losers at this charity game, which benefited the City of Hope Cancer Center. Here are some highlights from Nashville's Greer Stadium!
