The Richmond Flying Squirrels announced Thursday that three-time Major League Baseball All-Star David Justice will be joining the Opening Day festivities on April 6th at The Diamond. Justice, a former Richmond Braves standout (’88 -’90), will throw out the first pitch of the 2017 season as well as sign autographs on the concourse at 7:30 PM.

Justice played 14 seasons in the Major Leagues–eight with the Atlanta Braves–and was a perennial postseason figure. He appeared in the playoffs 10 times throughout his career and reached the World Series on six occasions (’91, ‘92, ‘95, ‘97, ’00, ’01). The two-time World Series winner (’95 Atlanta, ‘00 New York Yankees) joins the Flying Squirrels Opening Day festivities that also features dueling fireworks shows. First pitch for Opening Day is scheduled for 7:05 PM.

Single-game tickets for Opening Day and the entire 2017 season will go on sale Saturday, March 4th at Nutzy’s Block Party.
