The Celebrity Softball Jam combines nine innings of fun-filled, athleticism-optional softball with a talent-packed postgame concert in centerfield. Proceeds from the event benefit local Miracle League Baseball and Little League Baseball chapters.

Early bird general admission tickets are offered at a discounted price of just $15 until March 31. Starting April 1, general admission tickets are available for $20. There are VIP tickets available, with seating in the front rows behind home plate for the softball game and directly in front of the stages for the concert. Tickets in the VIP section are $25 and are only available until March 31.
Gates open at noon on April 14 with the softball game starting at 1 p.m. The postgame concert is slated to start at 3 p.m. with two stages: the main stage and an acoustic stage.
The long list of musicians, athletes and media personalities scheduled to join Reckless Kelly in the celebrity softball game and/or on one of the two stages for the center field concert continues to grow.

The Celebrity Softball Jam is a natural extension of band members' love of the game (and singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in more than a dozen Major League ballparks). It was conceived by a perfect match: Reckless Kelly, whose members are keenly enthusiastic about baseball and the Round Rock Express, which had long had an interest in bringing music to Dell Diamond.
Led by brothers Willy Braun and Cody Braun, the band wanted to create a signature event with friends from the worlds of music and sports combining America's pastime and music to benefit Austin's youth. In four years, the Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam has raised over $100,000.
The Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam, created and produced by Reckless Kelly in conjunction with Ryan Sanders Entertainment, is a registered 501C-3 through the Reckless Kelly Charitable Youth Foundation. Ryan Sanders Entertainment is a division of Ryan Sanders Baseball, owner/operator of the Round Rock Express (Texas Rangers Triple-A affiliate) and the Corpus Christi Hooks (Houston Astros Double-A affiliate). The group also, among other things, operates both team venues, Dell Diamond and the Hooks' Whataburger Field.
