has a seating capacity of around 49,000. Bank One Ballpark was
the first stadium to offer fans air-conditioning during a regular-season
game on March 31, 1998. The fans enjoyed the game without being
bothered by the intense summer heat of Phoenix.
- Arizona played
its first game against the Colorado Rockies in front of 50,179
fans at Bank One Ballpark.
- Arizona has
won their division 3 times, with Division Titles coming in 1999,
2001 and 2002. In those three post season appearances, the Diamondbacks
made it to the League Championship Series just once, in 2001.
In that postseason, the Diamondbacks would win there only World
Series title, defeating the New York Yankees. * Left handed pitcher,

pitched the only perfect game in Diamondbacks history.

The very next season was the best ever for the franchise, as they
went 100-62. BUY DIAMONDBACKS TICKETS The Diamondbacks looked
to repeat at World Series Champions in the 2002 season, and Randy
Johnson and Curt Schilling helped lead the way. The pitching duo
finished 1-2 in the Cy Young voting at the seasons end, with Johnson
ending up with the award. The Diamondbacks made the playoffs after
winning their Division, put would be swept by the St. Louis Cardinals
in the opening round of the playoffs. The 2003 season saw both
Johnson and Schilling spend time on the disabled list. Somehow,
the Diamondbacks stayed alive in the Wild Card race until September,
but other injuries to key pitchers finished the season in 3rd
place with a record of 84-78. The 2004 season saw Randy Johnson
pitch his first perfect game, and the Diamondbacks again contend
for the Division Title. The team however would falter, and not
make the playoffs. During the off-season, rumors have circled
about a possible trade of Johnson to the New York Yankees.

Diamondbacks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)<p><p>There are rumblings about a possible shift in the Diamondbacks' starting rotation.</p>
<p>A day after an impressive showing by emergency starter Yusmeiro Petit, manager Bob Melvin said the right-hander has made a case to stay in the rotation.</p>
<p>However, if Micah Owings is healthy by his next start, that would leave six starters for five spots.</p>
<p>"We'll kind of process that going forward," Melvin said when asked about Petit possibly getting another start. "We'll see how Micah is, see where our roster shakes out, see what kind of moves we have to make in the coming days. Certainly it didn't hurt his case. Whether or not we use him to start again—based on Micah's availability or we reconfigure things a little bit—it was an impressive outing."</p> <p>Owings and Randy...
