Information
- The Arizona
Diamondbacks entered Major League Baseball for the 1998 season,
along with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays as the 13th and 14th expansion
franchises. The team was named after the large population of diamondback
rattlesnakes that inhabit the southwestern United States.
- The Diamondbacks
play there home games at Bank One Ballpark, which is located in
downtown Phoenix. The stadium is owned by Maricopa County and
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,
Randy Johnson won Cy Young awards as the National Leagues top
pitcher each year between 1999 and 2002. On May 18, 2004, Johnson
pitched the only perfect game in Diamondbacks history.
- The worst
season for the Diamondbacks came in 1998, when they went 65-97.
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.
