Bailey hits lanes to strike out pediatric cancer
PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — Andrew Bailey declined to make a joke about throwing strikes, even as he stood in a bowling alley. Turns out, he’s not much of a bowler.
"I’m just trying not to fall down," the Red Sox new closer said Saturday, as he hosted the first Bailey Bowl at Pinsetter Bar & Bowl in South Jersey, where he grew up.
The Bailey Bowl benefits the Strike 3 Foundation, which supports pediatric-cancer research and assists the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania. Bailey was more than the event’s spokesperson and host.
