LANCASTER -- Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy is hosting another celebrity softball game this summer at Clipper Magazine Stadium in Lancaster.

This year's game will be held on June 22.

McCoy, who attended Bishop McDevitt, held a similar game last year: it drew more 7000 fans and featured Eagles quarterback Michael Vick and wide receiver DeSean Jackson; as well as the Ravens' Torrey Smith and former Eagles Hugh Douglas and Brian Westbrook.

McCoy, at a news conference at the stadium on Wednesday evening, would not reveal his special guests for this year's game, however.

""Our first Celebrity Softball Game was fantastic,” McCoy said in a statement. “The players, fans and families, had an amazing time. I am so proud of what we accomplished. We raised significant money for ALS and supported programs for the disadvantaged youth of Central PA. I am inviting all my friends and teammates to come back to Lancaster for the second annual LeSean McCoy Celebrity Softball Game.

"This year I plan to win the Home Run Derby!"

Tickets will be available on April 3. Dugout box seats are $40; field box seats cost $20; and lawn seats will be $10.

The game is once again fundraiser for McCoy's foundation, which is involved in the fight against ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, according to the Lancaster Barnstormers, the hosts of the event.

Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. A home run derby will start at 6:00 p.m., followed by the softball game at 7:00 p.m.
