The rain should be gone tomorrow making it a perfect day to watch softball. And watching local media celebrities play against each other for a good cause makes it even better! The event benefits Autism Speaks.
Autism is a severe developmental disorder that begins at birth or within the first two-and-a-half years of life. Most autistic children are perfectly normal in appearance, but spend their time engaged in puzzling and disturbing behaviors which are markedly different from those of typical children.
