It's a workout day at Miller Park, in preparation for Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Brewers and Diamondbacks. The Brewers' portion of the day, including media availability, is scheduled to start in a little bit but the team did pass along some procedural notes for the game tomorrow:
Foremost on the list is that Bob Uecker, the Brewers' Hall of Fame play-by-play broadcaster will throw out the first pitch Saturday before Game 1 of the National League Division Series at Miller Park.
Other things to keep in mind:
- The Miller Park parking lots will open at 10 a.m. Fans should plan to arrive early and purchase passes in advance; Gates to Miller Park will open at 11 a.m.
- All fans in attendance will be given a Brewers Rally Towel upon entry, courtesy of U.S. Cellular.
- The national anthem will be performed by Joseph Attanasio, father of Brewers Chairman and Principal Owner Mark Attanasio.
- The first pitch of the game is scheduled for 1:07 p.m. CT. It will be televised exclusively on TBS.
