As part of Sunday’s game, the Knights are excited to welcome legendary sports journalist, Joe Posnanski, to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Posnanski, a Charlotte resident, is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of six books, including The Baseball 100, The Soul of Baseball and The Machine.
