Arizona Diamondbacks Tickets - Find Diamondbacks Tickets

In just their first five seasons of existence, the Diamondbacks won three division titles (1999, 2001, & 2002) and one World Series. In 1999, Arizona won over 100 games in only its second season to win the National League West division. They lost to the New York Mets in the first round of playoffs.

Following the Backman debacle, the Diamondbacks sought to regain their credibility by spending on free agents in order to build a contender. But to the chagrin of their savvy fans, the club committed more than $80M to an injury-prone 3B (Troy Glaus), a starting pitcher who finished second in the major leagues in walks in both 2003 and 2004 (Russ Ortiz), and a pair of offensively-challenged middle infielders (Royce Clayton and Craig Counsell). Then, traded Randy Johnson to the Yankees, while acquiring Javier Vázquez, Brad Halsey and Shawn Green in a triple deal that includes the Dodgers, and sent Shea Hillenbrand to the Blue Jays, and Stephen Randolph to the Cubs.
