Charity Baseball Game for the benefit of QSAC - Quality Services for the Autism Community
On September 10, 2005 my wife, daughter and I went to a benefit baseball game at Citibank Park, home of the Long Island Ducks.  The beneficiary was a group called QSAC, or Quality Services for the Autism Community.  Several of the players were major league veterans, including Ed Charles, Art Shamsky, Bud Harrelson, Ron Swoboda, Joe Pignatano, Fred Cambria, and Tony Balsamo.  The veterans played members of the sponsoring organizations, and the sponors won.  But who cares, we all had a great time, especially by sitting right behind home plate.  Below are some players' pictures  Enjoy!!
