📜 Arizona Diamondbacks History
Affectionately known as the D-Backs, the Arizona Diamondbacks joined MLB as an expansion team in 1998. Based in the desert city of Phoenix, the Diamondbacks are one of MLB's youngest franchises.
After a disappointing inaugural season in 1998, the Diamondbacks moved quickly to improve, acquiring the likes of Hall-of-Fame pitcher Randy Johnson and setting the tone for the future. For their ambition the D-Backs were rewarded and in 2001 the franchise won its first and only World Series, defeating the defending champion New York Yankees over 7 games. The victory made the Diamondbacks the first men's major professional sports team in Arizona to win a championship.
Despite just 1 playoff appearance between 2014 and 2022, the Diamondbacks retain a loyal fanbase in Arizona. After a strong showing in 2023, there is restored hope that the franchise will soon return to the heights of the early 2000s.
