The Arizona Fall League, with the help of two Major Leaguers, as helped to keep the legacy of former NFL player Pat Tillman alive.

Tillman, a former Army Ranger, was killed in action in Afghanistan. He left the NFL to join the Army on his own accord after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01.

Two Arizona Diamondback players, Eric Byrnes and Orlando Hudson, attended the second annual Pat Tillman Benefit Night on Saturday.

The event was held at Scottsdale Stadium by the AFL.

Tillman played football at Arizona State University before joining the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL.

Byrnes played high school football against Tillman in Northern California.

A silent auction took place on Saturday night with the proceeds going to the Tillman Foundation. Also, half of the proceeds collected for admission to the stadium will also go to the Foundation in honor of the fallen hero.
