Analysis

Team Overview: Arizona Diamondbacks (D-backs)

The Arizona Diamondbacks, often referred to as the D-backs, are a professional Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Phoenix, Arizona. Established in 1998, the team is a member of the National League (NL) West division. The Diamondbacks have had notable success in their relatively short history, including winning the World Series in 2001, making them one of the fastest expansion teams to claim a championship.

Interesting Factoid: The Diamondbacks' victory in the 2001 World Series was particularly memorable as they defeated the New York Yankees in seven games, marking the first time a team won the World Series in its fourth season. This also made the D-backs the fastest expansion team to win a championship.

Less Known Fact: One lesser-known aspect of the Diamondbacks' history is their original team colors. When they debuted, the D-backs wore a combination of purple, teal, and black. The purple and teal were inspired by the colors of the Arizona sunset and the desert landscape, but the team eventually phased out these colors in favor of a more traditional red and black scheme, which they currently use. The shift in color was part of an effort to establish a more classic and timeless team identity. Updated: August 19, 2025 at 9:48 AM
