CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is looking to give fans a unique interactive experience with professional athletes and has enlisted the help of Classic Park in Eastlake and the Lake County Captains in doing so.

The four-time Pro Bowl receiver will host the inaugural Jarvis Landry and Friends Celebrity Softball Game at Classic Park on Saturday, June 15. Gates will open at 3 p.m. with the Home Run Derby beginning at 4 p.m. and the softball game to follow at 5 p.m.

“The passion of football fans in northeast Ohio is unbelievable,” Landry said in a release from the Captains.

“Being able to host a memorable event for our fans, like this softball game, is a chance to bring everyone together this June in anticipation of a big season this fall. I can’t wait to see the Orange and Brown pack the stands at Classic Park on June 15th and I promise that this event will be full of fun and surprises!”

Tickets for the event range from $20 to $47. Starting on Wednesday, March 27 at 9 a.m., fans can purchase bleacher seats for $20, Premium Box Seats rows A and B for $47. Lower Box Seats in rows C and D will be available for $37, and all other box seats will be $27.

Acquired by the Browns from the Miami Dolphins for draft picks last March and signed to a lucrative multi-year contract extension, Landry lived up to the hype in his first year in Cleveland, as he made impactful plays in multiple ways for the offense.

Landry turned his 81 receptions into 976 yards and four touchdowns, rushed for 60 yards and one score on just three attempts and completed one of his two passes for 63 yards. Additionally, Landry completed a two-point conversion pass to quarterback Baker Mayfield in a 21-17 win over the New York Jets at FirstEnergy Stadium in Week 3.
