GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jake Peavy's Woodjock concert for charity is scheduled for Thursday night in Scottsdale. Asked if he was nervous, the White Sox pitcher said, "Nah."
"We had three practice sessions," Peavy said.
However, teammate Scott Linebrink, who will play guitar, admits he is on edge.
"Yeah, you're just totally outside of your element," he said. "People say that all the time, 'Why are you nervous about speaking in public because you do it all the time?'
"I say, 'When you get on the mound,you don't notice the crowd. You're doing something that you practice over and over again, so you're comfortable with what you're doing. Even though I've played guitar a long time, I've never done a live performance like this."
