Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was at Miller Park Thursday night and threw out the first pitch before the Brewers-Mets game.
Rodgers hung out around the batting cage while the Brewers took their pre-game swings, chatting with Ryan Braun, manager Ron Roenicke and other players before retreating to the Brewers' clubhouse, where he posed for pictures and just hung out among the team.
Rodgers declined the opportunity to talk to reporters but did stop by the FS Wisconsin booth in the fourth inning. Brewers play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson asked whether or not Rodgers had any plans to organize team workouts during the ongoing NFL lockout.
"We're going to put something together here because it looks like it's going to go a little bit longer, so it's going to be important for us to get together," Rodgers told Anderson, adding that he would discuss the matter with teammate Charles Woodson at an upcoming charity event.
"If this lockout persists, we're going to get together. Guys have gotten some great work individually, some have gotten together in groups of two or three," Rodgers said. "There's a lot of guys kind of in the same area working out, but at some point we're going to have to get together."
Rodgers and his teammates will be together a week from tonight when they receive their championship rings during a private ceremony at Lambeau Field. The NFL gave the Packers permission to hold the event, despite the current labor situation, which bars contact between coaches and players.
