• On March 31, 1998 the Arizona Diamondbacks played their first regular season baseball game. It was a home game at Bank One Ballpark. They lost the game to Colorado, 9-2. Andy Benes was the pitcher.
• The Diamondbacks won their first game on April 4, 1998. They beat San Francisco 3-2.
• Later in that first year the Arizona Diamondbacks won seven games in a row. That tied the record for the longest winning streak by any expansion team in history.
• After the end of the season, the Diamondbacks signed Randy Johnson to a 4 year contract. Boy, was that ever a great decision! Randy had a clause in his contract allowing him to keep his long hair and facial hair, both of which were prohibited by the team. (A year later he got a traditional haircut.)
• During 1999 the very popular left fielder, Luis Gonzales, had a 30 game hitting streak. He was the 37th player in major league baseball history to do it.
• In July 1999 a Chandler resident won a million bucks when Jay Bell hit a grand slam. She had predicted the player and the inning before the game as part of a Shamrock Farms promotion.

• Early in the 2001 season Randy Johnson tied a major league record when he struck out 20 opponents during a game.

• Also in 2001 Curt Schilling became the first Diamondbacks pitcher to win 20 games in a season. Take that, Randy!
• In October 2001, the Arizona Diamondbacks, in their 3rd year as a franchise, won the National League pennant and go on to the World Series.

• After months of speculation, Randy Johnson was traded to the Yankees. Steve Finley was dealt to the Dodgers. Looks like the Diamondbacks are going to have some fresh faces for 2005.
• In September, 2005 the name of the ballpark was changed from Bank One Ballpark to Chase Field, after Bank One was acquired by J.P. Morgan Chase.
• In 2006 the team announced that the colors, logo and uniform would be changing beginning in the 2007 season. The new colors are Sedona Red, Sonora Sand and black.
• 2006 was the last year that $1 tickets in the upper deck were offered.
• The Western Division Championship belonged to the Dbacks in 2007, with a record of 90 wins, 72 losses. In the National League Division Series, the Diamondbacks swept the Cubs, but were then swept by the Rockies, ending their 2007 season.
• The defending National League West champions started the 2008 in promising fashion, going 20-8. Unfortunately, they ended the year with a record of 82-80, our of playoff contention. A lack of offense was the culprit.
• 2009 was another lackluster year for the Dbacks, which had their ace pitcher, Brandon Webb, out for much of the season and saw Bob Melvin replaced by A.J. Hinch as head coach. At the end of the losing season (70-92), coaches Chip Hale and Lorenzo Bundy were dismissed. Last place in the West was solidly ours.
• The 2010 season wasn't much better than the previous year. They finished in last place with a record of 65-97. Jerry Dipoto took over as GM and bench coach Kirk Gibson took over for A.J. Hinch as Head Coach.
• The 2011 season was, unexpectedly, better than 2010. They surprised just about everyone by winning the National League West and moving on ti the playoffs. They lost to the Brewers in the first round. Kirk Gibson was named NL Manager of the Year.
• The Dbacks didn't make it to the playoffs in 2012, finishing the season with a perfectly mediocre record of 81-81. Much of the excitement happened off the field, as both TV announcers, Mark Grace and Daron Sutton, were fired (for different reasons).
• 2013 ended with another mediocre, non-playoff .500 season, not what we expected. The bullpen was a problem, but there were a few bright spots. Patrick Corbin (P) and Paul Goldschmidt (1B) were named to the All-Star Team. Goldschmidt had an amazing year, but was not awarded the NL MVP award. He was robbed!
• 2014 came to a close with the Arizona Diamondbacks having an even worse season than the previous year. With a 64-98 record, we were last in our division. That was officially the worst record in all of Major League Baseball. Something had to change, and Manager Kirk Gibson was replaced with Chip Hale at the end of the season.
• Paul Goldschmidt won the National League's Silver Slugger honors in 2015, as well as a Golden Glove Award. AJ Pollack also won a Golden Glove. The D-backs were named Wilson Defensive Team of 2015. Arizona improved upon the previous year's record with 79 wins, 83 losses, 3rd in the West and 7th in the National League. Still, no playoffs.​​
• Predictions were bright for the D-Backs at the beginning of the 2016 season, but ended with a resounding thud. As a result of the lackluster season, management changes were made. Mike Hazen was named the new General Manager and Torey Lovullo replaced Chip Hale as the team's manager. He and Hazen have a long history of working well together. Lovullo helped guide the Red Sox to a World Series championship in 2013 and division titles in 2013 and 2016.
