Milwaukee Brewers Tickets - Brewers on Deck Should Wow Fans Again
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
Robert asked:
If you’re already a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, you may like them even more knowing that all of the proceeds from Brewers on Deck this year are going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin and Brewers Charities. In addition to these charitable acts, the event will receive non-perishable food items from fans to benefit the Hunger Task Force.
The lineup of players, coaches and club members that will be on hand include: Ryan Braun, Trevor Hoffman, Corey Hart, Tony Gwynn, J.J. Hardy, Yovani Gallardo, Todd Coffey, Manny Parra, Dave bush, Jeff Suppan, Carlos Villanueva, Rickie Weeks, Mike Cameron, Mat Gamel, Angel Salome, Taylor Green, Casey McGehee, Mark DiFelice, Brad Nelson, Ken Macha, Vinny Rottino, R.J. Swindle, Bob Uecker, Tim Dillard, Mitch Setter, Mike Rivera and Eduardo Morlan.
Players won’t be swinging any bats during autograph signings but some may prefer the bat once day since each player can sign up to 250 autographs. Brewers on Deck promises to be a wealth of activities to give fans a chance to take pictures, get autographs, attend question and answer forums, an anthem challenge, vendor booths, a FS Wisconsin Sports Desk where fans can test their broadcasting skills, the Brewers Charities Rummage Sale and many other events.
As you may already know, Trevor Hoffman will be introduced to Milwaukee in a press conference during the Brewers on Deck, which will be held at the WTMJ Stage at the Midwest Airlines Center. Hoffman recently signed a one-year contract with the Brewers to come on board as their closer. Hoffman, who is 41, is MLB’s all-time leader with 554 saves. Hoffman departs the Padres, who have wished him well with the Brewers.
Hoffman’s career began back in the summer of 1990 with Jim Lett and so the deal to join the Brewers will represent something of a reunion for Hoffman and Lett. “He’s going to be an incredible influence on our younger pitchers in Milwaukee,” Lett said. “That’s the kind of guy he is. No one works harder than him.”
Brewers on Deck is the last major event the Milwaukee Brewers will host before beginning Spring Training next month. Maryvale Baseball Park will host the Brewers in Phoenix Arizona, offering 7,000 seats along with an outfield berm.
On a fortunate arbitration avoidance note, pitcher Dave Bush signed a $4 million, one-year contract with the Brewers recently. Bush, whose contract reflected an increase from the $2.55 million he made last season, was the second player to sign recently. J.J. Hardy, who is a shortstop for the Brewers, also signed to the tune of $4.65 million for one year. Only four more players are eligible for arbitration and they are Seth McClung, Prince Fielder, Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks. With Spring Training right around the corner, one can hope that the four additional players will also avoid arbitration, get the contract business out of the way and head down to Maryvale Baseball Park to get started on the training.
