With the passing of Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Diamondbacks played a special tribute to his life during the fifth inning at Chase Field on Saturday night and many other Arizona players and teams chimed in with their own tributes.

Watch:

The Diamondbacks always have a moment for active & former military members to be recognized before the fifth inning.

“John McCain has always been a member of the D-backs’ family and was one of this team’s biggest fans since day one,” Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall said in a statement according to AZCentral. “He was in attendance at the expansion draft, the World Series and countless other games, remaining a fan through thick and thin. I am honored to consider him a friend and we will miss seeing his smiling face in the stands and our heartfelt thoughts go out to his entire family.”

McCain was a big supporter of the Diamondbacks and even as the end of his life neared, he took time to attend a game.

McCain found time to support his local teams, and you can expect Arizona teams & athletes to pay tribute to him throughout the day.
