The 2017 Dirk Nowitzki Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game was lit.

FRISCO — James Earl Jones voice: Baseball. Ohhhh baseball.

Well ... something like baseball anyway. Tonight was yet another iteration of Dirk Nowitzki’s annual Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game, and as always, it was quite the silly, enjoyable affair. Nothing quite compares to a packed minor league baseball stadium full of enthusiastic fans pumped to see a ton of non-baseball-players play something resembling baseball.

With various antics between each inning — one of which threatened injury to both Yogi Ferrell and Dwight Powell. But more on that shortly.

The night started off with a moving and somber tribute to the families and friends of the Dallas police officers killed or injured in the shooting at El Centro College last year.
