 PROFILE
That rattle under the roof is the Arizona Diamondbacks. The professional baseball team joined the National League (NL) as part of the 1998 expansion and plays in state-of-the-art Bank One Ballpark (featuring a retractable roof, air-conditioning, and a swimming pool in the outfield stands). The Diamondbacks' ownership, led by CEO Jerry Colangelo (owner of the Phoenix Suns), bankrolled the team to its first Western Division title and the NL pennant race in 1999 with such free agents as Matt Williams and Randy "Big Unit" Johnson. A disappointing 2000 season led to the ousting of the team's first manager, Buck Showalter, who was replaced by Bob Brenly. New free agents include former Cubs infielder Mark "Amazing" Grace.
