Jordan Love to Lead 25th Packers Celebrity Softball Game

It’s a highly anticipated game for the Green Bay Packers. But this one is not on the gridiron. A friendly offense vs. defense rivalry will happen during the Packers Celebrity Softball Game. It’s scheduled for Friday, May 23, 2025, and for the first time, Jordan Love will lead the match-up. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers President Rob Zerjav joins Maino and the Mayor to talk about celebrating the 25th year of what’s now a staple in Wisconsin sports culture. 

“Jordan Love is stepping into the role held by Packers legends like Brett Favre, Donald Driver, and Jordy Nelson,” Zerjav says. “He is sure to bring his own flair to the game.”

Love participated last year and Zerjav shares that the QB is ready to take the lead. 

“It’s a great event for team bonding and tradition, but also a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community,” he explains. “Proceeds from the event will go to Love’s Hands of Love Foundation and its mission to support underserved communities.”

The day will feature a home run derby followed by the game which gives fans the unique chance to see their favorite Packers players trading football helmets for baseball caps.

“You see these professional athletes in a completely different light,” Zerjav explains. “Some of them can crush home runs, while others can barely hit the ball. It’s all part of the charm.”

Fans can also look forward to special appearances, including Donald Driver, who remains a fan favorite. He will be on hand to “pass the torch” to Love. Autograph opportunities and other surprises will make the day memorable for everyone.

“It’s a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with Packers players while supporting a great cause,” Zerjav adds. “Jordan Love’s leadership and involvement in this game highlights his commitment to the community.”

The Packers Celebrity Softball Game is presented by Network Health and will take place at the Timber Rattlers stadium in the Fox Cities. You can find tickets and more information on the team’s website here.
