The 2007 Diamondbacks: A Retrospective

The 2007 Diamondbacks were one of the more memorable teams in franchise history for a number of reasons. First off were the new uniforms, which were a drastic change from the uniforms the team had previously worn throughout their history (like that would ever happen again.) It was also the first season in a long time without Franchise cornerstone and World Series hero Luis Gonzalez. Randy Johnson came back after a two-year exile in the Bronx, though he didn’t pitch much due to injury. Apparently, according to Baseball Reference, Augie Ojeda pitched in a game, so that’s neat.

The main story arc of the Diamondbacks that year was a team that unexpectedly won its division, rolled through the division round against a more highly-regarded opponent, but then ran into a brick wall in the LCS against some non home plate touching dinosaur lovers.
