PHOENIX -- Even though the D-backs are one of the two youngest franchises in MLB, that hasn't stopped the club from celebrating their short history. For the fifth straight year, the club hosted an alumni game, which took place before Saturday's game against the Reds at Chase Field.
The D-backs invited back some of the best players to have played for the team since they first took the field in 1998. Half of the alumni played for Team Purple, which wore the purple alternate jersey worn from 1998-2004. The other half played for Team Red, which wore the sedona red alternate jersey worn from 2007-15.
