On Friday night, Mayor Kip Holden will face off on the softball diamond against the likes of former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Horn, former LSU Tiger and big league pitcher Ben McDonald and LSU Offensive Coordinator Greg Studrawa—plus many, many more current and former professional athletes with Baton Rouge ties—at the third annual Red, Rock and Blue Celebrity/Sorta Celebrity Softball Game at Cypress Mounds Baseball Complex.
