Within a mere 50 years, between 1940 and 1990, the city of Phoenix, AZ skyrocketed from being just the 99th largest city in the nation to the 9th.

Of course, it’s sill somewhat hard to imagine considering he spent so much of his career as a division rival of the Vikings. and Phoenix is known for being the hottest major city in North America, with the average high temperature during baseball’s regular season being around 99.1 °F. So how could such a hot, desert city ever have a big-league baseball team?

Colangelo received a lot of support for his bid from his friend, and owner of the Chicago White Sox. Because of all this support, Colangelo held a contest to name the baseball team - first prize being a pair of lifetime season tickets. The winning choice of course ended up being “Diamondbacks,” named after a venomous snake known to exist in Arizona. Due to the many existing suburbs of Phoenix, like other sports teams, Colangelo decided to keep the team’s name as the Arizona Diamondbacks, rather than the Phoenix Diamondbacks - so that all the suburbs would not be left out of a team.

However, in September 2006, the team decided to completely redesign their uniforms for the 2007 season, including a new color scheme. As per MLB rules, the uniform redesign was supposed to be kept secret from the public until after the 2006 postseason. Unfortunately, somehow, the 2007 MLB Official Style Guide got out at the end of September, and local media broadcast printed the new design for the public to view. Most fans reacted sourly to the new color scheme “Sedona Red”, which was similar to the team colors of the Phoenix Coyotes and Arizona Cardinals, which were known to not do very well. “Sedona Red” became the dominant color used throughout Chase Field and in all marketing and promotional materials for the Diamondback ballclub.R4i hosts Nepal in their opening game in the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division V tournament next month.
