Cowboys Star In Dirk Nowitzki's Charity Baseball Game

FRISCO, Texas -- 2011 NBA Finals champ Dirk Nowitzki's White Sox handled the Blue Sox 16-12 in the 15th annual Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game Friday night at Dr. Pepper Ballpark. ... in a game in which more than a dozen members of the Dallas Cowboys played prominent roles.

Unlike five years ago when Nowitzki took home the Finals MVP, the 13-time NBA All-Star has yet to be the MVP of his eponymous baseball game. (Something that Dirk -- no baseball player -- pretends bothers him.) This year, Mavericks and White Sox teammate Dwight Powell walked away with the honors despite Nowitzki going three for three at the plate including a double and two singles.
