Mother Nature has thrown the inaugural Million Dollar Rockfish Challenge a curveball even Ryan Zimmerman would have trouble hitting.
The Washington Nationals third baseman and former Kellam and University of Virginia standout was one of a handful of celebrities scheduled to compete.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, NASCAR’s Jeffrey Earnhardt and largemouth bass fishing icon Roland Martin were others.
But the weekend’s wintry storm put everything in question for the event that was supposed to start Monday. Vick will not participate because Sunday night’s Eagles game against Minnesota was rescheduled for tonight. Tournament officials weren’t sure whether the others could make it.
Tournament director Ken Wente and officials at Marina Shores Marina plowed through the chaos, determined to make the event happen.
