EASTLAKE, Ohio — The inaugural Greg Newsome & Friends Celebrity Softball Game, hosted by the Browns cornerback, drew in plenty of popular football players from Cleveland and beyond—but it was a basketball player known very well in Cleveland who made a splash at the event on Saturday.
Mitchell started crushing home runs during his warmup at-bats, so when the home run derby followed, he added himself to the competition. "I was tired. Biggest thing was I was just trying to create a big enough gap so Greg couldn't end up winning. But first, I was just trying to hit it over [the fieldhouse]," Mitchell joked."Like I said, it was fun; I relived a lot of childhood moments being out there on the field."
