ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Members of the Philadelphia Eagles were in Allentown Saturday, along with several other stars.
It was the 4th annual Devonta Smith Celebrity Softball Game at Coca-Cola Park, and we were there to talk with the fans who came out.
“Can’t wait to cheer for them when they all come up to bat,” said Kim Sonntag.
Kim and Kourtney Sonntag said seeing the players right here in the Lehigh Valley and on the baseball diamond just hits different.
“Just being able to be that close and being like, oh my God, I’ve seen you guys in person, but this close is just crazy,” said Kourtney Sonntag.
Joining Smith in the home run derby before the game were football stars Brandon Graham, Terrell Owens, Saquon Barkley, Dallas Goedert, and Phillies star Ryan Howard.
“It’s pretty good, I like it so far. They know how to hit,” said Elena, who came out to see the game.
“My boy Dallas Goedert was in the home run derby, I love him. Number 88 is great,” said A.J., who also came out to see the game.
Ticket sales from the event go to support charity. The fans said they’re already looking forward to the event next year, and to cheering on the Eagles this fall.
“We’re just enjoying the summer, it’s early summer, it’s early activity. Go Birds!” said A.J.
“Go birds, go Birds!” said Kim and Kristen Sonntag.
“Go Bids. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles,” said Elena.
