Arizona Diamondbacks Tickets

Arizona Diamondbacks information, The Arizona Diamondbacks played their first game in 1998 at Bank One Ballpark, which was later renamed Chase Field. In the team's first five seasons, the Diamondbacks won three division titles and one World Series. After a disappointing 2000 season, the Diamondbacks fired manager Buck Showalter. Led by two of the most dominant pitchers of all-time, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, the Diamondbacks defeated the infamous New York Yankees in the World Series to become the youngest expansion franchise to win the World Series. After Arizona hit the pinnacle of its existence as a team, the team steadily declined.

In 2004, despite Randy Johnson pitching a perfect game, the team finished with just 51 wins, the worst in baseball. Following the 2004 season, the Diamondbacks made several moves in an attempt to beef up the team. They acquired Javier Vasquez, Brad Halsey, and Shawn Green. In addition, the team signed Troy Glaus and Royce Clayton, among others. Currently, the Diamondbacks are attempting to rebuild their team. With newly acquired pitcher Livan Hernandez, and pitcher Brandon Webb, who had an outstanding 2006 season, the team might be headed down the path toward success.
