Phils' Jamie Moyer Hosts "Celebrity Waiters" Event



by KYW's Ian Bush

Monday night was an off-night for the Phillies, but don't tell that to Jamie Moyer and some of his teammates. The pitcher headlined a fundraiser at the ballpark for a cause close to his heart.

He's a world champion -- mean on the mound.  But can Jamie Moyer balance a table's worth of entrées and drinks?:

"The professionals may be bringing the tray, I may be serving the plates off the tray -- to be safe."

The southpaw feeding dozens who turned out in support of his Moyer Foundation and the charity's Camp Erin.

"It's a free camp for children who have lost a family member or a loved one or somebody close to them.  A lot of times, don't know where to go, don't know how to deal with it."

There's one in the Philly area -- among the 28 nationwide that help kids cope with grief.  Moyer also kick-starting the Harry Kalas High Hopes Memorial Fund, which he hopes will help raise enough money to put a Camp Erin in every city with a major league team.
