Nashua, N.H. ? Bode Miller is trading in his skis for some baseball spikes and freshly cut grass.

The Olympic skier and four-time world champion signed a one-game contract with the independent Nashua Pride. Miller, a native of Franconia, N.H., will take the field for the Pride in a home game July 29 against the Brockton Rox.

A minimum of $5,000 of the ticket proceeds from the Can-Am League game will go to Miller’s Turtle Ridge Foundation, which will donate the entire amount to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

“I have just started my foundation over the last several months and to be able to play professional baseball and have my foundation in some small way help the Lance Armstrong Foundation in its fight against cancer, it’s going to be an awesome day,” Miller said.

Miller, a former high school state tennis champ and an avid soccer player and golfer, won two silver medals at the 2002 Salt Lake Games.

He also won golds in the downhill and super G events in last year’s World Championships, and competed in the Turin Games this past winter.

It wasn’t immediately known what position Miller would play for the Pride.
