Red October is nearly here. We are so close, you can almost taste it. With the Philadelphia Phillies having home-field advantage, they're welcoming the Los Angeles Dodgers to Citizens Bank Park for Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday evening.
First pitch between the battle of National League titans is scheduled for 6:38 p.m. ET. The Phillies will be sending out new ace Cristopher Sánchez to get the game started. But before the stingy left-hander takes the mound, a Phillies legend will be gracing the field to throw out a ceremonial first pitch that is sure to blow the proverbial roof off The Bank.
