Brewers announce which franchise legends will participate in upcoming alumni game

The Milwaukee Brewers are following up their highly successful Alumni Home Run Derby from last season with an "Alumni Legends Game" this year. On July 24, after the Brewers take on the Colorado Rockies in a 3:10 p.m. game at American Family Field, a group of franchise legends will compete in a three-inning game that is bound to create memorable moments similar to the events that transpired at last year's Home Run Derby.

When the Brewers announced the creation of the Alumni Legends Game back in early May, they revealed that more than 30 former players would be returning to compete. However, at the time, the list of attendees had not yet been finalized. Now, with just over one month remaining until the highly anticipated event, the Brewers have officially announced which franchise legends will be returning to Milwaukee next month for the Alumni Legends Game.

Full list of former Brewers competing in this year's Alumni Legends Game:

1B Jesús Aguilar, RHP Chase Anderson, OF Ryan Braun, INF Jeff Bianchi, RHP Brad Boxberger, LHP Doug Davis, RHP Tim Dillard, RHP Yovani Gallardo, INF/OF Bill Hall, OF Corey Hart, RHP Jeremy Jeffress, OF Geoff Jenkins, C Erik Kratz, RHP Corey Knebel, RHP Dan Kolb, C George Kottaras, RHP/OF Brooks Kieschnick, RHP Brandon Kintzler, C Jonathan Lucroy, OF Nyjer Morgan, INF Mike Moustakas, LHP Chris Narveson, INF Jace Peterson, C Manny Piña, 1B Richie Sexson, INF Travis Shaw, RHP Ben Sheets, INF Eric Sogard, OF/1B Eric Thames, RHP Carlos Villanueva, LHP Randy Wolf

In addition to the players listed above, former coaches Ed Sedar and Garth Iorg will serve as the managers of the game, and Doug Melvin and Gord Ash will serve as the "GMs."

Ryan Braun, Ben Sheets, Bill Hall, Richie Sexson, and many more among group returning to Milwaukee for Alumni Legends Game

Not only will Milwaukee's July 24 contest feature this must-see Alumni Legends Game shortly after the team's series opener with the Rockies concludes, but the Brewers are also offering several other exciting promotions throughout the game that fans won't want to miss. Special ticket packages that offer one-of-a-kind giveaways and an opportunity to meet one of the legends participating in the game are available.

In addition, fans can enjoy $2.50 Miller Lite and brats for the same price from the moment the gates open to the first pitch of the game. The Brewers Team Store will also be offering discounted merchandise throughout the contest.

With a chance to see another looping Ben Sheets curveball, another towering homerun off the bat of Eric Thames or Richie Sexson, or maybe another cycle from George Kottaras, Brewers fans certainly won't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch more than 30 franchise legends compete against one another. Tickets are still available, but bound to go fast. For more information, visit mlb.com/brewers/tickets/promotions/legends-game.
