NASHVILLE,
Tenn. (July 9, 2015) – When it comes to hits, Justin Moore has cranked
out one Grand Slam after another in his multiple No.1 chart-toppers,
amounting to his over one million records sold. But this weekend, the
avid baseball fan will take a break from the Crushin’ It World Tour
with Brad Paisley to try his hand at a new kind of hit making, as he
participates in the 2015 MLB All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball
Game on Sunday, July 12 at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Justin, alongside fellow ACM New Artist of The Year award-winner Cole
Swindell, will represent the country genre on the long list of
celebrity participants from various facets of entertainment including:
Snoop Dogg, Jordin Sparks, Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Anthony Anderson (ABC’s black-ish),
Nick Lachey, Macklemore, Andy Dalton (Cincinnati Bengals), Jennie Finch
(Olympic softball gold medalist), Olivia Holt, Chad Lowe and many
others.
“I’m stoked to break out the spikes again,” Moore said. “Baseball is
my favorite sport, and one I’ve played my whole life. I may be a little
rusty, but it’s just like riding a bike. Should be fun to get back on
the diamond with all the other folks playing.”
In between innings, Moore will host CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown,
capturing one-on-one interviews and fun antics with some of the top
celebrity participants. The episode will premiere on Saturday, July 18
at 9/8 a.m. CT and re-air on July 19 at 9/8 a.m. CT.
The MLB All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game will be
nationally televised by ESPN immediately following the Gilette Home Run
Derby presented by Head & Shoulders on Monday, July 13. Don’t forget
to tune in!
