Texas Wesleyan University, in partnership with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association, is pleased to present the 12th annual “Swing with the Legends Golf Series” tournament and dinner, sponsored by Big Rock Land and Exploration. The five-person scramble, where each team of four is partnered with a former major league baseball player, will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Fort Worth, Texas Wesleyan University Baseball and the MLBPAA.

The tournament, an annual event directed by the MLBPAA, has helped raise money for local charities since its inception. Most recently, this tournament help raise the funds necessary to build the Fort Worth Optimist Club baseball fields on the south side of town. Going forward, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Fort Worth hopes for similar success.

“We’re excited to be a part of this tournament, and glad to continue our partnership with Texas Wesleyan,” said Joe Cordova, President of The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Fort Worth. “Though we don’t have a specific project in mind right now, the money we raise this week will be used to further support our kids through programs we already have in place.”

The event begins on Wednesday evening with a dinner, donated and catered by Outback Steakhouse, at the Legends of the Game Museum at the Ballpark in Arlington. Following dinner will be both live and silent auctions of baseball memorabilia. The tournament, to be held at The Links at Waterchase Golf Club in East Fort Worth, begins with a shotgun start at 2:00 PM on Thursday. Approximately thirty celebrities are scheduled to play, including Eddie Robinson and Doyle Alexander, plus former Texas Rangers Tom Grieve, Pete O’Brien, Toby Harrah, Oddibe McDowell, Tim Crabtree, Dave Hostetler, and Wesleyan’s head baseball coach, Mike Jeffcoat.

Individual and team spots are still available, beginning at $350 per person. For more information, contact Monica Cook at (817) 531-4401 or mcook@txwes.edu.
