Tonight, May 13, Sharilyn Gasaway, co-owner of 2024 Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan, will join us to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. En route to the Preakness Stakes where her celebrated horse, Mystik Dan, will compete in hopes to make another step towards the coveted Triple Crown, Sharilyn will make a pit stop at Chase Field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

On Tuesday, May 14, Tennis Night will feature two-time Grand Slam Doubles Champion Vania King “serving” the ceremonial first pitch. In 2010, Vania won Wimbledon and US Open Women's Doubles titles, becoming the only Asian-American female to win a women's doubles Grand Slam. Vania will “serve” the ceremonial first pitch and answer questions from fans during a special Q&A prior to the game. To partake in the Q&A and receive a D-backs tennis visor, fans can purchase a special ticket package at dbacks.com/tennis.

Tuesday Community Spotlight: Also on Tuesday, Scott Yelle will join the Diamondbacks on-field for a special pregame recognition. Scott’s son Jackson was an avid baseball fan, and the two of them had set out on a mission to see all 30 ballparks after they attended their first baseball game together in 2015. They had made it to 12 ballparks before Jackson was killed by a hit-and-run driver last April. Scott has dedicated himself to finishing their ballpark tour and will stop at Chase Field on Tuesday night. He will donate $1,000 to the D-backs Nike RBI team on behalf of the Jackson Yelle Family Foundation, which he created in honor of his son’s love of the game to help make baseball more accessible to boys and girls around the county.

Detroit Tigers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks:

Friday, May 17 @ 6:40 p.m. | Saturday, May 18 @ 5:10 p.m. | Sunday, May 19 @ 1:10 p.m.

The D-backs will also honor our brave service members, veterans and families on Sunday during Military Appreciation Day. The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation and Circle K will present a $20,000 donation to Soldier’s Best Friend, a non-profit that provides U.S. miliary veterans living with combat-related PTSD or TBI with service or therapeutic companion dogs. The donation is part of the organizations’ Strikeouts Helping Heroes, a season-long campaign in which Circle K and the D-backs Foundation will each donate $10 for every Diamondbacks pitcher’s strikeout to help fund important projects supporting our most deserving veterans. Fans that purchase a special ticket package will receive a military-themed D-backs hat and $2 from each ticket sold will be donated to the Wounded Heroes Project, supporting our heroes in need.
