With many sports being played in the United States, one that is most famous amongst their culture is baseball. One of the largest areas of America; Phoenix, Arizona is known to have one of the most popular teams in baseball. The team is known as the Arizona Diamondbacks. Having already won a World Series title in the year 2001, they have already received a nickname from the fans known as the D-backs.

One of the main reasons behind why the Arizona Diamondbacks are so popular amongst fans in America is due to the fact that they are one of the fastest teams to win a championship. They were able to achieve this status after four years of becoming part of the major league. Other titles that the Arizona Diamondbacks have won include the World Series title. This was won four times in the year 2007, 2002, 2001 and 1999. The person in charge for the team at the current moment in time is Kirk Gibson.

A white trouser with a white shirt along with red socks and a cap is the home kit for the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is quite popular amongst fans worldwide. The away kit is pretty much the same. The only noticeable difference is the color of the trousers and shirt which is gray. There are two other alternative kits available for the team; however they are hardly known to be used.

The current logo for the D-backs is simple but unique. What makes the logo stand out the most in comparison to others is the design of the “A” shape that is the center theme of the logo. The remainder part of the logo is the name “Diamond Backs” that is found underneath the main theme. Another way that people can recognize the Arizona Diamondbacks is through their famous motto “Anybody, Anytime”.

With there being so many great names in the history of baseball, two that are known to have come from the Arizona Diamondbacks include names such as; Luis Gonzalez and Jackie Robinson. These two players were famously known to wear the number 20 and 42 respectively for the D-backs.

If we take a closer look at some of the players in the team today, the ones that are known to stand out the most include Miguel Montero, Bobby Crosby and Barry Enright. Even though there are many other players in the team, these are the three that are most famous amongst the fans.

Looking at Bobby Crosby in more depth, one can see that he received an award for the best rookie in the year 2004. This was after signing up to the MLB and having his first debut with the Oakland Athletics in 2003. Bobby is currently an infielder for the D-backs. He currently holds a strong battering average of 0.237 with 62 home runs.

One thing for sure is that the 2010 Major League Baseball season will be an exciting one to watch. No matter who your team is you will sure enjoy it.
