Alumni Day festivities will commence with an on-field pregame ceremony, announcing the D-backs alumni in attendance. Current D-backs players and coaches will sport the purple alternate jerseys from 1998-2002 for the game, as voted on by fans.

The first 20,000 fans will get a Matt Williams alumni bobblehead. Tickets are on sale now for $14 and can be purchased by calling the D-backs at (602) 514-8400 or online at dbacks.com/alumni.
