Celebrity Autographs And Celebrity Addresses

The Diamondbacks on Wednesday announced changes to their autograph sessions prior to home games.
Signings will now be from 5:30 to 5:50 p.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with a group of 10 players and coaches dispersed to five different locations at Bank One Ballpark — four on the main concourse and one exclusive to suite holders on the Diamond Level.

"(These adjustments) will allow for longer accessibility in a much more convenient setting," public relations director Mike Swanson said. "This new policy eliminates the rush to the railing and gives players the opportunity to be more personable in a controlled environment on the concourse."

Previously, eight team members signed for 10 minutes before weeknight games, along the outfield lines.

Under the new policy, Saturday games will feature a "Kids Only" table of two players signing for younger fans.

The season-opening ninegame homestand will feature three autograph sessions — on Tuesday before Arizona’s game against the Chicago Cubs, on April 9 vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers and April 12 vs. Colorado.
