ALLENTOWN, Pa. – A celebrity softball game featuring a wide receiver who helped the Eagles win two Super Bowls is set for early May at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown.
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Clear Vision Marketing group announced Monday that the 5th annual Devonta Smith and Friends Celebrity Softball Game will take place on Saturday, May 2.
The event will feature a pre-game Home Run Derby followed by the Celebrity Softball Game in what will be a star-studded event, the team says.
The IronPigs say gates will open to the public at noon with the Home Run Derby beginning at 1:30 p.m. followed by the Celebrity Softball Game at 3 p.m.
Since being drafted the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1st Round (10th overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft, Smith has quickly ascended to one of the top receivers in the NFL, the IronPigs said in the news release.
Smith helped lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance in 2022 before catching the Dagger™️ to secure the Eagles second Super Bowl win two years later in 2024, the IronPigs say.
Smith won the Heisman Trophy as College Football’s top player while at the University of Alabama, becoming the first receiver to win the award since Desmond Howard in 1991.
Smith has been a strong advocate for the Lehigh Valley since being drafted by Philadelphia, seeing the intimate connection between the greater Lehigh Valley and the city that he now plays for, according to the news release.
The IronPigs say Lehigh University was home to Eagles training camp for two decades and Smith is acutely aware of how many Eagles fans live in the Lehigh Valley and how much the Eagles mean to those fans.
