'Been waiting a year and a half': Fans enjoying return to spring training games during pandemic
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - It’s a family affair out at
Salt River Fields in Scottsdale as the Arizona Diamondbacks played to a socially distant and COVID-19 safe crowd of fans on Sunday.
"I’m really excited. Been waiting a year and a half," said Gay Tucker, who is celebrating her 89th birthday by watching the team play with her granddaughter.
"She’s a huge DBacks fan so we try to get her to as many games as possible," her granddaughter said.
This game is extra special since Tucker hasn’t been able to attend a game in more than a year. "I just can’t wait for Chase Field to open up."
