ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Members of the Philadelphia Eagles were in Allentown Saturday, along with several other stars.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“Can’t wait to cheer for them when they all come up to bat,” said Kim Sonntag.<\/p>\n
Kim and Kourtney Sonntag said seeing the players right here in the Lehigh Valley and on the baseball diamond just hits different.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“It’s pretty good, I like it so far. They know how to hit,” said Elena, who came out to see the game.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“We’re just enjoying the summer, it’s early summer, it’s early activity. Go Birds!” said A.J.<\/p>\n
“Go birds, go Birds!” said Kim and Kristen Sonntag.<\/p>\n
“Go Bids. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles,” said Elena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Members of the Philadelphia Eagles were in Allentown Saturday, along with several other stars.
