In 1998 the expansion Arizona Diamondbacks made an inauspicious debut in Major League Baseball by losing 97 games. Yet the very next year they wound up in the National League playoffs after posting the greatest single-season turnaround in the history of the game. Just two years after that, the D-Backs won the 2001 World Series with an unforgettable rally against the New York Yankees. First published in 2002, Tales from the Arizona Diamondbacks Dugout is a compilation of fascinating vignettes that give baseball fans an inside look at the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks’ world championship season as well as many of the magic moments that preceded it . . . and beyond. From the founding of the expansion franchise to their quick rise to glory, as seen through the eyes of manager Bob Brenly, his coaching staff, and such D-Backs stars as Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Mark Grace, Matt Williams, and Luis Gonzalez, readers get a front-row seat for Arizona’s World Series win over the Yankees. Veteran sportscaster Bob Page takes you behind the scenes for an intimate, informative, and often humorous look at the Diamondbacks’ rise to glory.

A wild bull on the field, a fly ball caught by a train conductor, a pitcher taking the mound barefoot—Minor League Baseball has been played across the country in cities large and small for more than a century, and there are thousands of stories to tell from it. Tales from the Dugout collects the zaniest Minor League stories. Given its long history, it is no surprise that the game has encountered some bizarre things over the years. This humorous and outlandish collection of stories is sourced from newspaper archives and the Baseball Hall of Fame Library in Cooperstown, New York, and includes a foreword by former MLB All-Star Billy Butler. Whether you're a baseball fanatic or just a fan of sports history, this book captures the spirit of the game. Including: - HOLE IN ONE: In 1942, a Milwaukee Brewers batter hit a low line drive that bounced down the right field line. He rounded the bases while confused Louisville Colonels fielders searched for the ball. They eventually found it inside a gopher hole. - TOO FAR: The Denison Tigers started the 1896 Texas Association season with a pitcher's mound that was 70 feet from home plate. - MONKEYING AROUND: A chimp's escape turned a Southern Association game into pandemonium on July 17, 1909. "Henry the Chimpanzee," the New Orleans Pelicans' official mascot, busted from his cage and chased players around the field. The chimp then went after fans, who ran from him screaming. The game was delayed a few minutes while Henry was restrained. - HEADLESS CRUSHER: A police department in Ohio got a call about a missing head. The Lake Erie Crushers' mascot's head was stolen in 2011, forcing the mascot to miss a few home games. After learning through media reports that police were investigating, the thief returned the head by inconspicuously placing it under the ballpark's tarp.
