The Chicago Cubs were getting ready to take on the Milwaukee Brewers in some incredibly important National League Central action, but there was some Chicago Blackhawks flavor ahead of the game.
New Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill threw out the first pitch ahead of the game. This comes less than a week after Blashill was at Halas Hall meeting new Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson for the first time.

New #Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley tonight.
Blashill is doing a great job making the rounds in his new city. The head coach needs to connect with fans and endear himself to the city.
When training camp begins in a few weeks, it is going to be all about hockey so they might as well get the last minute fun in while they can.
