Arizona Diamondbacks Mount Rushmore
By David Hill
Despite their brief history, the Arizona Diamondbacks have had a number of stars pass through their clubhouse. Which of those players makes up their Mount Rushmore?
The Arizona Diamondbacks may not have a long history, but it has been a successful one. They came into the league in 1998, joining the Tampa Bay Rays as the two most recent expansion franchises. However, unlike the Rays, the Diamondbacks found success almost immediately.
After a rough initial campaign, the Diamondbacks began their march to relevance. They won 100 games in their second season, making their first postseason appearance. Just two years later, they managed to defeat the mighty Yankees dynasty, as Luis Gonzalez singled up the middle to win Game Seven.
Although the Diamondbacks have not returned to the World Series, they have generally remained in contention. They have made the playoffs six times, an impressive total considering how difficult the National League West can be. This year was another success, as Arizona again returned to the postseason. Given their solid core, it would not be a surprise to see a return engagement in 2018.
As to be expected, given their success, there have been a few stars that have passed through their clubhouse. Which of those players comprise the Arizona Diamondbacks Mount Rushmore?
