Nicollette will be playing at Steve Garvey’s ALS benefit Celebrity Softball Classic & Family Fun Festival on July 10 at Pepperdine University, in Malibu.
When Joey Herrick, president of Natural Balance Pet Foods Inc., called Garvey to coach the Little League team last year and mentioned ALS, Garvey didn’t hesitate.
“He wanted to put a celebrity softball game together, and that’s turned out to be a great thing,” Herrick said. “That was his idea. Steve’s been so great. He’s into giving back and helping kids. I’m just a guy that said, `Hey, you don’t know me, but how would you like to coach my son’s 13-year-old team?’ He said he’d love to do it.”

Garvey has enlisted the help of his friends like Pete Rose, Tommy Lasorda and Maury Wills to help out. Jose Canseco, who wants to pitch, is scheduled to play in the celebrity softball game, as are actress Nicolette Sheridan, actor James Denton and others. Garvey, Ron Cey and Bill Russell – part of the longest-running infield in Major League history – will be together again, too. Davey Lopes is the only one who can’t make it; he’s first-base coach for Philadelphia.
