I’ll be honest, this was a conflicting series for me. Much like (I assume) all of you, I love the Diamondbacks. Their iconic 2001 World Series win perfectly coincided with my cognizance of baseball and then living in Tucson for grad school simply elevated my casual fandom to another level. I’ve been able to watch the team’s ebbs and flows over the past decade or so and now have the chance to see the franchise reach new heights with a bevy of contract extensions that should extend the window of contention for several more years. But that same 2001 season also marked my parents and I embarking on a move to Maryland where I’d live until finishing my undergraduate degree.
