Wiffle ball tourney will raise funds to fight cancer

BOSTON -- Not many fans have the opportunity to take the field with a Major League baseball player, but those participating in The Strike 3 Foundation's Wiffle Ball Tournament will be able to say they played with the game's best.

On Oct. 10, The Strike 3 Foundation will host the tournament at Little Fenway in Essex, Vt., designed to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Ten to 12 teams will compete on three fields -- Little Fenway, Little Wrigley and Little Field of Dreams -- and each team will be responsible for raising $3,000-$5,000 in sponsor donations.

Red Sox reliever and Yale University graduate Craig Breslow, Strike 3's executive director, founded the nonprofit in 2008.
