The Charleston RiverDogs will once again host a charity softball game featuring former Major League Baseball players in mid-June at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. For the 2024 version of the contest, the team has added an influx of recognizable names with extensive big league careers. The Legends in the South game presented by The Marino Family will take place on Friday, June 14 at 7:00 p.m.
Former MLB standouts John Rocker, Orlando Hudson, Pokey Reese and Tyler Thornburg have all been added to the game’s rosters. Former RiverDogs Toby Hall, Elliot Johnson and R.J. Swindle, who each suited up for the team between 1998 and 2006 will also play in the contest. In addition, the game will feature several familiar faces to Charleston natives. Asher Wojciechowski and Chip Cannon, former stars at The Citadel, will be joined on the field by former Charleston Southern University product Chris Singleton.
In addition to Rocker and Thornburg, several former Atlanta Braves will also be in attendance, headlined by Ryan Klesko. The first baseman played the first eight years of his career in Atlanta, before being selected for the all-star game with San Diego in 2001. Other former Braves include Michael Kohn, Mark Wohlers, Pete Smith, Mike Bielecki, Kris Medlen and Otis Nixon.
