The Arizona Diamondbacks haven’t even been around for a decade, but what a history the franchise has already created! In just their fourth season, the Diamondbacks won their first World Series title and accomplished more than many franchises have for decades. But for every shining moment (like Randy Johnson’s perfect game) there have been forgettable ones, too (Wally Backman, anyone?).

Diamondbacks Essential: Everything You Need to Know to be a Real Fan by Steven Travers (Foreword by Andy Dorf) examines the short but storied-packed history of the Diamondbacks by examining all the thrilling achievements and games, colorful personalities, great hitters, incredible pitchers and memorable moments in the franchise’s existence.

Fans will read compelling trivia questions, captivating top-ten lists, interesting tidbits and facts, biographies of dozens of men who wore the Diamondbacks uniform, and scores of statistics and stories. Fans can test their Diamondbacks expertise with questions such as:

> What team did Randy Johnson break into the major leagues with?

> On what show did aspiring actor Matt Williams appear on?

> What six teams in MLB history have been named after states, not cities?

> Mascot D. Baxter the Bobcat was the idea of the son of what former player?

> What other names were considered before “Diamondbacks” was chosen?

Diamondbacks Essential is the perfect way to learn something new and read stories – often hilarious, occasionally heart-breaking – that you haven’t read before.
