The D-backs have been running Fan Fest, or events similar to it, since before there was even a SnakePit to report on it. I recall - and I think this might have been all the back way before the 2001 season - going to Chase Field and getting autographs from players and coaches. I think there’s a box somewhere in SnakePit Towers containing the Media Guide which was signed [Yes, it was so long ago, there was an actual printed media guide] Over the years, the event has changed and mutated. We’ve been covering it since as far back as 2011.
