Star-Studded Support for Arizona Diamondbacks’ Postseason Run
Professional athletes and celebrities are showing their support for the Arizona Diamondbacks as they make their push in the postseason. Some notable names, such as Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Michael Phelps, have been spotted cheering on the team in recent games.
The Diamondbacks have been fortunate to have the NBA star Devin Booker in attendance during Game 4, where he received extensive coverage. Booker continued his support by joining Kevin Durant and Michael Phelps for Game 5. Before the game, Phelps even had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.
Durant’s connection to the Diamondbacks goes back to April when he made headlines by sporting a Corbin Carrol jersey at one of their games. The 23-year-old outfielder’s talent made Durant feel his age. You hear about these guys. Then to find out he was a Seattle kid, he said he watched me growing up, which made me feel old. Glad we’re in the same city doing our thing, Durant expressed back then. The NBA player was also seen wearing a Diamondbacks hat in a postgame press conference, showing his support for the team and the local community.
Michael Phelps, who originally hails from Maryland, has ties to Arizona through his former coach, Bob Bowman, who now coaches at Arizona State University. Phelps has been involved in the university’s swim program and has participated in the Waste Management Phoenix Open celebrity Pro-Am, an annual event held in Scottsdale. With a staggering 28 Olympic medals to his name, Phelps is no stranger to success.
Adding to the star-studded attendance, legendary pitcher Randy Johnson, known as The Big Unit, was also present at the game, further elevating the excitement.
In another display of Arizona sports camaraderie, members of the Arizona Coyotes hockey team made their way to Chase Field to support the Diamondbacks. The Coyotes previously celebrated their first home opener win since 2016 at Mullett Arena earlier in the day, adding to the electric atmosphere.
The Arizona Diamondbacks’ postseason run has certainly attracted attention, not just from fans but also from a range of prominent figures in the sports world. Their support highlights the solidarity and community spirit that exists among athletes, both within and beyond their respective sports. As the Diamondbacks continue their journey in the playoffs, their star-studded backing serves as both inspiration and motivation for the team, as well as a testament to the excitement they are generating.
