However, the Mallards are excited to announce that former Milwaukee Brewer Ben Oglivie will be appearing instead. Oglivie will also be joined by fan favorite Bernie Brewer!
The Mallards will offer a private meet and greet session for 50 fans from 5:30-6:00 PM. Fans with meet and greet tickets will be able to receive an autograph and take a photo with Oglivie.
