CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood and wife Sarah will pitch in to help children with cancer by hosting a celebrity bowling tournament on Nov. 12 at the 10-Pin Bowling Lounge, 330 N. State, to benefit Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

A silent auction will be conducted during the bowling tournament, featuring items such as bat boy for a day with the Cubs; first pitch at Wrigley Field; a clubhouse toilet seat signed by past and present players; a Rolling Stones autographed guitar; one-of-a-kind baseball memorabilia; tickets to sporting events, concerts and much more.

Wow! Talk about items for the person who has everything... :)

Wood to host charity events on Nov. 12

The cubs.com article
Wood to host charity events on Nov. 12 mentions that some of the players scheduled to attend are:

Cubs teammates Mark Prior and Ryan Dempster, Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, former Cub Mark Grace and Boston Red Sox pitcher Matt Clement.

Hmmm, if these guys can throw a ball 90 mph, I'd hate to be the pinsetter at that bowling alley when they're up.

Can you imagine the curve they could get on a bowling ball?

Chicago Cubs bowling event obervations...

My video recorder caught part of the WGN sports news the other night with a report on the Kerry Wood bowling event.

I noticed that Mark Prior (a righty) was shown bowling left handed. Teammate Ryan Dempster (also a righty) was shown bowling right handed.

Did anyone else notice this?

Here are some news articles regarding Kerry Wood, this event, etc...

I'm looking for photos from this event with no success so far.
Has anyone found a website with photos from the event?
If you have photos please make them available on the web.
Thanks!

Blagojevich has a plan

Blagojevich says he plans to call Cubs general manager Jim Hendry on Monday to set up a meeting to discuss ways to improve his favorite team.

"I asked [Hendry] if I could come and see him," said Blagojevich, who attended Kerry Wood's charity bowling event for Children's Memorial Hospital on Saturday night at 10-Pin Lounge. "I'm looking forward to that. I'm 48 going on 9 when it comes to baseball. I'm really excited to be here, and getting a chance to talk to Kerry Wood was a real thrill for me and my daughter Amy."
