Myles Turner to throw first pitch at Friday’s Indians game

Myles Turner will have the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Friday’s Indianapolis Indians game. The Pacers’ first-round pick in June – a 239-pound 7-footer – is sure to stand out on the diamond. As a kid, Turner played several sports.

The Indians (81-59), who have the best record in the International League, have only four regular season games remaining — the first two being at home against Toledo (59-81).

Friday night’s game is being dubbed as “Suicide Prevention Awareness Night,” with a jersey auction benefitting Community Health Network Foundation scheduled for after the game. There will also be fireworks (!!!).

This will be a fun thing for Turner to do, and a great outreach out ahead of the new season that is less than four weeks away. Unfortunately, he’s doing it on a busy night in Indy with all area high schools playing football.

With the game slated to begin at 7:15 p.m., Turner’s first pitch will be thrown at approximately 7 p.m.
