As a final show of support for Major League Baseball spring training this year, businesses are being asked help sell out the 2008 Tucson finale at Hi Corbett Field when the Arizona Diamondbacks play the Colorado Rockies.

Mike Feder is chairing the event, dubbed "Tucson Loves Spring Training" day, in which blocks of tickets are being sold to the 1:05 p.m. game on March 26.

"If you can’t attend the game, we will donate the tickets in your name to local military, off-duty public safety staff, senior groups or a charity of your choice. Not only do we need to sell the tickets, but most importantly, fill the seats," said Feder in his call to action.

The day is part of an effort organized by local businesses and officials through the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce to try to persuade the Diamondbacks and Rockies to extend their spring training agreements here.

It is anticipated this is the final season the Chicago White Sox will come to Tucson. The team has agreed to move to a new facility due to be completed by next spring in Glendale.
