Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd, Sam Horn, Billy Joe Robidoux and Ken Ryan are four of the former Boston Red Sox players who have committed to playing in a fundraiser softball game against the Boothbay Region Ambulance Service on Sherman Field at Boothbay Region High School on Saturday, Aug. 4.

Other Red Sox players who have participated in the past have included Bill Lee, Rick Miller and Jeff Plympton, but according to BRAS Supervisor of Operations Scott Lash, the visitors' line-up won't be known until game time.

The BRAS fundraiser, with general admission $10 or donation, will begin with a baseball clinic for kids at 6 p.m. Youngsters are urged to show up with gloves to receive some fielding instruction from the former professional baseball players.

The ambulance service will be selling hats, T-shirts, baseballs for autographs and programs. BRAS members will also be manning the BRHS Boosters Club's “Snack Shack,” selling hot dogs, hamburgers, beverages and more.

The game will get underway at about 7 p.m.  

Money raised at the game will be used toward the purchase of two ambulances for the BRAS.
