Jeff Skiles to throw Brewers' Opening Day first pitch

February 23, 2009

US AIRWAYS Flight 1549’s First Officer Jeff Skiles will throw out the first pitch at the Brewers’ home opening April 10th against our Cubbies. He couldn’t ask for a better market.

Game starts at 3:05 CST and will be carried on FSN and MLB.TV.

Brewers Executive VP of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger: Jeff Skiles is a great representative of the State of Wisconsin. We are honored to have Jeff throw out the first pitch on Opening Day.

I get the feeling he’s going to enjoy the game more than he did the media blitz. He’s a funny guy - watch his Letterman interview. Wonder who he bumped.
