Cubs TV announcers Len Kasper and Bob Brenly play host to their fourth annual "Len & Bob Bash" charity fundraiser at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, at the House of Blues, 329 N. Dearborn St., Chicago. G. Love & Special Sauce is the headliner, but even better is the opener the Baseball Project, which should have an updated version of "Harvey Haddix" to cite Mark Buehrle's perfect game last season for the White Sox. Tickets for the 21-and-older show cost $27.50, $30 at the door, available at the box office or at hob.com. Len & Bob will also perform between sets. Their bashes have raised more than $100,000.
