Father's Day meaningful for Mets, D-backs

PHOENIX -- Prior to Sunday's Mets-D-backs Father's Day game at Chase Field, fans turned to the center-field scoreboard for a message from D-backs president and CEO Derrick Hall.

Hall, a prostate cancer survivor, founded the Pro-State Foundation in January 2013. On Sunday, he urged men to get tested for the disease and encouraged everyone to aid in the fight against it.

"Let's turn those prostate problems into a pro state of mind," Hall said.

The D-backs recognized an outstanding physician and an outstanding father before the game.
