Brewers 2018 season starts with a bang at On Deck event

The Brewers' season kick-off event at the Wisconsin Center carried even more energy than usual.

Fans flocked to Brewers On Deck to meet the two new high-profile acquisitions, outfielders Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain. Established veterans like Ryan Braun and fan favorites like Eric Thames were there too, along with Brewers owners, coaches and past players.

Milwaukee has put itself in the middle of the NL Central title discussion with the trade for Yelich and the signing of Cain to an $80 million deal. But fans were just as happy soaking in the festive, interactive atmosphere as they were to meet and chat with their favorite players.
