Byrnes, who played from 2000 to 2010, hit 109 home runs, 396 RBI and stole 129 bases in his career. Byrnes played for the Oakland Athletics (2000-2005), Colorado Rockies (2005), Baltimore Orioles (2005), Arizona Diamondbacks (2006-2009) and Seattle Mariners (2010). Byrnes was a key member of the 2007 NL West champion D-backs, hitting 21 home runs, scoring 103 runs and stealing 50 bases for the season. As a member of the A's, he batted .462 in the 2003 ALDS against the Red Sox.

Byrnes set a world record by playing 420 holes of golf in a 24-hour span this April on the Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links in California to raise awareness for the "Let Them Play Foundation."
His Let Them Play Foundation provides children with the opportunity and means to be physically active.The LTP grants fund equipment, scholarships, even bus passes for transportation, lightening the load for these organizations, and allowing them to spend more time on their mission rather than raising funds.
Byrnes will sign free autographs from 6 p.m. until 6:40 p.m., talk about his career in a "Pre-Game Live" on-field segment, throw out the first pitch, and sign again from 7:05-7:45 p.m.. Baseballs and photos will be available to purchase, or fans can bring their own items.
