Mike Bell, fellow running back Pierre Thomas and tight end David Thomas joined teammate and West Palm Beach native Heath Evans at a charity softball game to benefit the Heath Evans Foundation at Roger Dean Stadium.

NFL players against the members of the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Swat Team, GOOD times for a GREAT cause!!

Evans, who tore an ACL at mid-season, said he was gratified at finally winning the big prize after coming close with New England two years ago. But he still termed the experience of not being able to play as “bittersweet.”

“I was pulling like crazy for our boys and our staff and our city,” he said, “but at the end of the day it was tough having a coaching hat on instead of a helmet.”

A number of NFL stars with local ties added star power to the festivities, including Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester of Riviera Beach, New York Jets wideout David Clowney of Delray Beach and Cleveland safety Abram Elam of West Palm Beach. Also participating were New England wide receiver Randy Moss, who spends his off-season in Boca Raton, and former Patriots defensive back Rodney Harrison, now an NBC analyst.

Proceeds from the game will benefit the Heath Evans Foundation, which is dedicated to fostering hope and healing in the lives of children and families affected by sexual abuse.

Looks like David Clowney had himself a GREAT TIME!!

David Thomas had just come with his family from Disney World, a trip he said was planned even before the Saints earned a trip with their victory. He said the Saints’ victory parade was an experience he won’t forget.

“There was so much support, so loud,” he said. “I don’t know how many beads we threw, but it was definitely a lot.” Check ot the rest of the photos from the game..
