Right now, anything having to do with the Eagles is very big – bigger than ever, in a town where the Eagles are important 365 days a year.
But it was still mildly surprising to see Citizens Bank Park looking nearly half-full Friday evening for the first Carson WentzAO1Foundation charity softball game, featuring Team (Jordan) Hicks against Team Wentz. Hicks and Wentz, still recovering from 2017 season-ending injuries, limited themselves to managing the 28 participants.
Foundation officials said about 25,000 tickets were sold in advance, priced from $5 to $100.
This is only Wentz’s third summer in the area.
