As the 24th commander of United States Army Forces Command, four-star General Andrew Poppas is in charge of more than 750,000 active Army, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard soldiers and is responsible for ensuring the readiness of the Armys combat formations.
On Saturday at 3 p.m., the Janesville native will concentrate on commanding one thing: a pitch at American Family Field.
