A Brief History of the Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a Major League Baseball team based out of Phoenix, Arizona. The Diamondbacks play in the National League Western Division. A group led by Ken Kendrick and managed by Bob Melvin owns them. The Diamondbacks play their home games at Chase Field. Chase field, or Bank One Ballpark (the BOB) as it was originally known as, was opened in downtown Phoenix in 1998. Chase Field was only the second Major League Park that featured a retractable roof and the first field to use natural grass in a retractable roof stadium. Chase Field is a state of the art facility that seats over 48,000 baseball fans.

The Arizona Diamondbacks were an expansion team in 1998 along with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of the American League. There were originally owned by a local ownership group headed by Jerry Colangelo and Joe Garagiola, Jr. The Diamondbacks first manager was Buck Showalter and they signed big name free agents like Matt Williams, Jay Bell, Devon White, and Andy Benes to help jump start the franchise. This strategy worked well as the Diamondbacks saw excellent returns on their investment by their second season. The Diamondbacks won the National League West division in 1999 with a 100-win season. The Diamondbacks lost in the divisional playoffs to the New York Mets 3 games to one but the addition of superstar players like Luis Gonzalez and Randy Johnson would soon pay even higher dividends. The Diamondbacks slipped to third in the division in 2000 and Bob Brenly was hired to replace Buck Showalter.

The Arizona Diamondbacks won the 2001 World Series and became the youngest franchise to capture a World Series title in modern Major League Baseball history. The 2001 Diamondbacks were littered with veteran All Stars like Mark Grace, Jay Bell, Matt Williams, Luis Gonzalez and Steve Finely but the true force behind this Championship team was the starting pitching combination of Randy Johnson and Curt Shilling. These two Hall of Fame pitchers combined for a 43 and 12 regular season record and an ERA under three. The 2001 Diamondbacks cruised through the National League playoffs with wins over the Cardinals and Braves. They faced the heavily favored New York Yankees in the World Series and won in seven games with a two run, ninth inning rally. The Diamondbacks won the Division in 2002 but failed to win the National League pennant. Since then, the Diamondbacks have fallen on hard times including a 111-loss season in 2004.

Bob Brenly was replaced during the dismal 2004 season by interim manager Al Pedruique. That same season, new ownership led by Ken Kendrick took over the team. Bob Melvin was named as the new manager to begin the 2005 season and has been the manager ever since. Melvin managed the Seattle Mariners for two seasons before taking the Diamondbacks managing job. The Diamondbacks have shown marginal improvement since the new owners and management took over posting 77 and 76 wins respectfully in 2005 and 2006.

The 2006 Arizona Diamondbacks finished fourth in the National League West Division with a 76-86 record. The team featured a mixture of veterans like Luis Gonzalez, Tony Clark, and Miguel Batista along with many young players like Enrique Gonzalez, Brandon Webb, Conor Jackson, Chad Tracey, and Stephen Drew. The Diamondbacks expect to put a very competitive team on the field for the 2007 season and should sale many season tickets with the young talent coming up on this team.
