He'll team up with other Hollywood names and members from the New Orleans Saints to take on some of the "Twilight" cast.

Facinelli, who plays father figure Carlisle Cullen, was originally signed on, but he's no longer on the roster.

Facinelli leaves behind wolf pack members Chaske Spencer who plays alpha-wolf Sam, Alex Meraz who plays Paul and Tyson Houseman who plays Quil. Daniel Cudmore, who plays Felix, is the sole vamp left.

Proceeds from the Celebrity Vampire Baseball game will go to benefit Haiti disaster relief. Fans will get an opportunity to meet the stars and get autographs.
