“Diversity and inclusiveness are fundamental to the spirit of baseball,” remarked Derrick Hall, President, CEO & General Partner of the D-backs. “We take pride in fostering a sense of community where everyone feels accepted and welcomed.”

Getting the party started at Chase Field, Phoenix Mercury stars Brittney Griner, Kahleah Copper, and Natasha Cloud will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitches.

Then, Gary Delin of the Phoenix Gay Men’s Chorus will sing the National Anthem. Throughout the concourse and in La Terraza, Phoenix Pride DJ Frietz will set the tone with upbeat music, complemented by activities such as face painting, yard games, and refreshments including a specially crafted Pride cocktail by Levy.
