But D-Backs fans have nothing to be ashamed of. They went from worst in their division last year to first this year, defeating the incumbent World Champion San Francisco Giants by 8 games.
The real star of their team is this man.
He is their manager, Kirk Gibson. He is given credit for changing the attitude of this team and making them champions of the National League West this year. Nearly everyone says he should be named the National League Manager of the Year.
Meantime, as we Brooklyn Dodgers fans used to say back in the 40's and 50's - "Wait 'til next year!"
