J.J. Watt’s Charity Softball game returned to the Houston area on Saturday, pitting current Houston Texans players versus Houston Texans Legends at Constellation Field in Sugar Land. Besides the chance to see Watt, DeMeco Ryans and Hall of Famer Andre Johnson (among others) demonstrate their skills at softball, fans were able to engage in the silent auction and were treated to a Home Run Derby along with the softball game itself. The Texas Legends won the game. (Photos by Sean Thomas)
