New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 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!
