The Cubs open the regular season on Thursday, and to celebrate, the team and Budweiser are inviting fans to take part in "Play For Opening Day" on Tuesday.

Dust off those hitting shoes. The Cubs are ready to give you a shot. Fifty lucky fans will be randomly selected to take batting practice and see if they can hit the Special Hit the Buds targets that represent various prizes, including tickets to the opening day game and access to a 15-person luxury suite at Wrigley Field.

One fan will have a chance to win a million dollars if they hit a ball that strikes the Budweiser sign above the video board in right field.

So if you think you can hit as far as Glenallen Hill or just want to get on the field at Wrigley, visit the Cubs website for more information.
