Michael Phelps enjoyed the Major League Baseball (MLB) game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Baltimore Orioles with his family.

On Saturday, September 2, the Diamondbacks took on the Orioles at Chase Field in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was a tough night for the home team, who were beaten 7-3 thanks to Cedric Mullins' three-run homer.

The Orioles have kept alive their record of being unbeaten three straight games in a row since July 1 and have pushed to 84-51 for the season, the best record in MLB.

American Olympic legend Phelps, who is a huge fan of baseball and roots for the Baltimore Orioles, enjoyed the game live at the stadium with his wife Nicole Johnson, and their three sons — Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick.

Phelps took to social media to share a photo before the match and said that it would be a special night for him, irrespective of the result.

"Two of my squads. Tonight I win no matter that," he wrote on his Instagram stories.

Baltimore Orioles' win against Arizona Diamondbacks, however, definitely made the night sweeter for Phelps.

The American retired from the sport after the 2016 Rio Games with 28 Olympic medals to his name, of which 23 were gold. He took part in five Games, with the first as a 15-year-old in Sydney 2000.

Along with Phelps, the likes of Missy Franklin, Kirsty Coventry, Kosuke Kitajima, Cesar Cielo, and American Paralympic athlete Trischa Zorn-Hudson will be inducted into the Swimming Hall of Fame, which is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

China’s Wu Minxia (diving), Russia’s Natalia Ischenko (artistic swimming), USA's Heather Petri (water polo), France's Stephane Lecat (open water), USA's Bob Bowman and Chris Carver (coaches), and South Africa's Sam Ramsamy (member of the IOC) complete the class of 2023.
