We've just left Campanelli Field in Brockton, home of the Brockton Rox, where Kevin Faulk is holding his second annual Celebrity Softball game to raise funds for the United Way.

More than two dozen of his teammates lent their support, making for a crowded field since all of the members of a team played defense together.

Jarvis Green served as umpire.

Randy "Griffey" Moss - as he requested his name be for the night - was the star attraction for the crowd, though Matt Cassel may have gained some fans with his bootie shaking dance-off win over Kelley Washington.

Faulk felt that the high turnout was a sign of the respect his teammates have for him; assistant strength coach Harold Nash and New England legend Doug Flutie took part as well.

He was also pleasantly surprised to see a full parking lot at the stadium; Rox officials said fans began lining up at the gates at 4:30 p.m., 90 minutes before they opened.

"It's turned out to be a great event," Faulk said.
