Chicago Cubs and White Sox legends -- including South Side World Series champions Ozzie Guillen, Jermaine Dye and Joe Crede -- will meet in a charity softball game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Boomers Stadium in Schaumburg.

The Cubs will be represented by Carlos Zambrano, Jon Lieber, Brian McRae, Cliff Floyd, Bill Madlock, Adam Greenberg, Corey Patterson, Mike Remlinger, Ryan Dempster, Bobby Howry, Ray Burris, Roosevelt Brown and Scott Eyre.

Sox players also will include Norberto Martin, Freddy Garcia, Greg Walker, Carl Everett, Mike Huff, Dan Pasqua, Brian Anderson and Toby Hall.

Though the players were confirmed as of Wednesday, organizers stress that the rosters are subject to change at any time without notice.

Tickets for the 2016 Larry A. Pogofsky All-Star Softball Challenge start at $20 for a box seat, with VIP tickets that include a postgame picnic and special gift going for $50.

Before the game, at noon, kids will have the opportunity to participate in an on-field baseball skills clinic hosted by the Bulls/Sox Academy. A spot in the clinic can be purchased in conjunction with either a box seat ticket (raising the price to $75) or a VIP ticket (for a total price of $105).

Tickets can be purchased online at boomersbaseball.com, by phone at (847) 461-3695 or by visiting the Boomers box office at 1999 S. Springinsguth Road in Schaumburg from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday.

All proceeds will benefit the Larry A. Pogofsky Charitable Trust, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit created to honor the legacy of Larry Pogofsky, a former owner and board member of the Chicago White Sox.
