VICTORINO ON MAUI

Maui's Shane Victorino will bring a few of his World Series champion teammates from the Philadelphia Phillies when he hosts a charity golf tournament Nov. 22 at Makena's North Course.

ESPN anchor Neil Everett, a former KGMB anchor, will emcee the event.

Victorino, the Phillies center fielder, is a former St. Anthony star who became a pivotal player in the Phillies' success this season. The golf tournament will feature athletes, sports personalities and entertainers. Kurt Suzuki of the Oakland A's, also from Maui, is expected to play. They will be teamed with foursomes of amateurs. The event has a noon shotgun start.

IVERSON CLAIMS CUP
