Manny Machado To Host Third Annual Basebowl Tournament

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Orioles infielder Manny Machado will host his third annual, sold-out BaseBOWL Tournament, a celebrity charity event to support Baltimore City's Department of Recreation and Parks this Sunday, May 15.

Nearly all of Machado's teammates are expected to attend in support of Machado's efforts. The Orioles will also donate $10,000 to Baltimore City Recreation and Parks and host participating youth at an upcoming Orioles home game through the OriolesREACH Gameday Experience Program. The children will receive game tickets, concessions, an Orioles t-shirt and cap, and transportation to and from the game.

The tournament will consist of two games with teams of five bowlers. Each team will be paired with a celebrity participant including current Orioles players and athletes from the local community.

In 2015, the Manny Machado BaseBOWL Tournament raised more than $80,000 to support the Baltimore City Recreation Department's eight-week "Play Baseball" campaign.
