Bobby Freeman

The keeper of one of baseball’s grand traditions, Bobby Freeman has provided the soundtrack to baseball in Arizona since making his professional debut with the San Francisco Giants AAA Pacific Coast League affiliate, Phoenix Firebirds at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in 1989. Freeman ushered in the inaugural Arizona Fall League season in 1993 and began his long-standing Cactus League affiliation with the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners at the new Peoria Stadium in 1994.

The Official Organist of the Arizona Diamondbacks since the inaugural season of 1998, Freeman also played at the team’s Tucson Electric Park spring training site during the team’s 13 Cactus League seasons and played for the grand openings of the Chicago Cubs new HoHoKam Park in Mesa, the Milwaukee Brewers Maryvale Baseball Park, and the Cleveland Indians/Cincinnati Reds Goodyear Ballpark.

Freeman has preserved the art of the ballpark organist for more than a generation and has been the Official Organist for the Arizona Diamondbacks at the team’s Salt River Fields ballpark since its opening in 2011.
