Randy Johnson, has pitched for the Diamondbacks from 1999 to 2004, and then from 2007 to 2008.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a professional baseball team based in Phoenix, Arizona. The Diamondbacks are a member of both the Major League Baseball’s (MLB) National League Western Division and the National League (NL) itself. Since the 1998 season, the Diamondbacks have played in Chase Field (formerly named "Bank One Ballpark").^[1] The name "Diamondback", inspired by the Western diamondback snake, was chosen among thousands of entries that were received from a contest to name the team.^[2]

Arizona made their Major League debut in the 1998 baseball season, where they were an expansion team.^[3] After losing their first season, the Diamondbacks were the National League West Division Champions in the 1999 baseball season and made it to the National League Division Series where they lost to the New York Mets.^[4] They rebounded in 2001, however, and defeated the New York Yankees four games to three to win the 2001 World Series.^[5] In the 2002 baseball season, Arizona made it back to the National League Division Series, but lost to the St. Louis Cardinals.^[6] In the following four seasons, the Diamondbacks didn't make it into the playoffs. Arizona would, however, win their division in 2007, but only to lose to the Colorado Rockies in the National League Championship Series.^[7] The following season, Arizona just missed the playoffs, after the National League West was won by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
