The contest will be played on Saturday, September 9 at 6:00 p.m. with proceeds benefiting QSAC.

"I am really excited to be able to play with a lot of the Miracle Mets," says Foley. "Not only is this game for a great cause and will help raise autism awareness, but it's also going to be a lot of fun."

The three-time WWE Champion will join a roster that already includes 1969 Miracle Mets teammates Bud Harrelson, Jerry Grote, Ron Swoboda, and Art Shamsky. Making his first appearance this year will be two-time World Series champion and 1977 National League MVP George Foster.
