Charity News Online
Bode Miller, the U.S. downhill skiing star who showed such promise at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 before flopping grandly in 2006 in Torino, will now try his hand at baseball. Miller has signed a one-game contract to play for the Nashua Pride of the independent CanAm League, ESPN reports.
The team will donate at least $5,000 from ticket sales from the game, due on July 29, to Miller's Turtle Ridge Foundation, which will in turn give the money to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
In a statement released by the team, Miller said: "I have just started my foundation over the last several months, and to be able to play professional baseball and have my foundation in some small way help the Lance Armstrong Foundation in its fight against cancer, it's going to be an awesome day."
