Overview

  • Haliburton threw the ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs during their game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night, wearing a Cubs jersey.
  • The Oshkosh native has said the Brewers rescinded an earlier invitation after his Pacers eliminated the Bucks, and he has publicly declared he is no longer a Brewers fan.
  • Both the Cubs and Dodgers invited Haliburton to toss a first pitch this season and he told reporters he chose the Cubs because it “made more sense.”
  • After the game Haliburton exchanged heated posts on X with Milwaukee podcaster Nathan Marzion, a back-and-forth that quickly went viral and amplified local backlash.
  • The episode adds a public dimension to Haliburton’s rehab story after his June 2025 Achilles tear and could affect his hometown reputation and sponsor PR as he prepares to return to the Pacers late this year.
