Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks are a professional Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Phoenix, Arizona. Established in 1998, they are a member of the National League West division. The team's nickname is often shortened to "D-backs." The Diamondbacks are known for their distinctive purple, teal, and black team colors. They play their home games at Chase Field, a venue notable for its retractable roof. The team achieved significant success early in its history, winning the World Series in 2001, just three years after their inception, which is one of the fastest championships in MLB history for an expansion team. The Diamondbacks' mascot is a furry, anthropomorphic rattlesnake named "D. Baxter the Bobcat." The team's name reflects the region's native rattlesnake species, embodying the state's natural wildlife.
