Lidle memorial and fund raiser all in one
The late Cory Lidle, who died this fall in a private plane crash in New York, will have a poker tournament that bears his name. The Cory Lidle Poker Tournament will take place Sunday at Hollywood Park's casino. The tournament is a benefit for the Make A Wish Foundation, which was a charity Lidle supported.
Bary Zito is supposed to be in attendance as are new Dodgers Mike Lieberthal and Randy Wolf. All three were former teammates of Lidle.
The buy-in is $300 but a discount is available for early entries. For more information go to www.corylidle.org.
More information will also be available on the San Gabriel Valley Tribune's website on Friday and in Friday's sports editions of the Whittier Daily News, Pasadena Star News and San Gabriel Valley Tribune. The story was written by Brian Baiotto.
