  For the first time in its 11-year history, the Major League Baseball Players Trust’s annual off-season, fund-raising golf tournament will be held in Las Vegas, when current and former big league all-stars tee off at Legendary Shadow Creek on Thursday, January 15, 2015.    However, before taking their swings on the golf course, the players will test their card-playing skills when MGM Grand hosts a poker tournament benefiting the Players Trust on Wednesday, January 14.   Best of all is that you, too, can join in the all the Vegas fun.  Poker and golf spots are available to members of the general public by calling 888-714-0755.   Scheduled to hit the Vegas strip in support of the Players Trust are some of the top names in Major League Baseball, both past and present, including Hall of Famers Eddie Murray, Ozzie Smith and Dave Winfield; as well as current Major Leaguers Adrian Beltre, Shane Victorino, Matt Harvey, LaTroy Hawkins and former players Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, and Eric Davis, to name just a few.   Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience and opportunity to match your card playing and golf talents against our all-star crew of Major Leaguers!   You can reserve your spot now by calling 888-714-0755 or by e-mailing us at PlayersTrust@mlbpa.org.   You can learn more about the golf tournament by visiting http://playerstrust.org/programs/golf-tournaments/   Viva, Las Vegas!   [Players listed above as of 12/08/14 and subject to change.]
