From the Joe DiMaggio Legends Game

JUST POSTED WATCH VIDEO HERE 

The 22nd Annual Joe DiMaggio Legends Game was held at Ft. Lauderdale Stadium yesterday on what could best be described as a "beautiful day for baseball."

Despite some early traffic snarls (the Pro Bowl practices were held across the street at Lockhart Stadium the same morning), hundreds of fans turned out to see some of the legends of the game take the field once more and this time for a very good cause.

According to Kevin Janser, the VP and Executive Director of the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Foundation, money raised today will go to support the creation of a new, free standing Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.  For anyone who has had to use the services of JDCH, you know what an excellent job they do and the commitment to the south Florida community is second to none.
