MESA, AZ — Arizona Diamondbacks players are stepping away from the baseball diamond to bring smiles to children at a local hospital Friday.
Players, including first baseman Pavin Smith and pitcher Ryan Thompson, will visit young patients at Banner Desert Medical Center, trading their bats and gloves for bedside visits.
The players will spend time with patients and their families, offering autographs and bringing moments of joy to those facing medical challenges.
