Chipper Jones and Quavo will throw out the ceremonial first pitches before Games 1 and 2 of the National League Division Series, the Braves announced Tuesday.
The Braves host the Cardinals in the first two games of the NLDS Thursday and Friday at SunTrust Park.
Game 1 will begin at 5:02 p.m. on Thursday if the Nationals win Tuesday’s National League Wild Card game. SunTrust Park gates will open at 2:30 p.m. It will begin at 6:02 p.m. and gates will open at 3:30 p.m. if the Brewers win. The winner of that game will play in the other NLDS against the Dodgers. Jones, the Braves Hall of Fame third baseman, will throw out the first pitch before the series opening game with a flyover of four F16s scheduled.
Game 2 will begin at 4:37 p.m. on Friday and gates will open at 2 p.m. Quavo, the Georgia native rapper and member of the hip hop trip Migos, will throw out the first pitch.
Both games will be on TBS.
Games 3 and 4 (if necessary) of the best-of five series will be in St. Louis Sunday and Monday. If necessary, Game 5 will be in Atlanta on Wednesday.
