Diamondbacks Look to Make History
Baseball betting fans will remember that Arizona Diamondbacks have had some great players in their history, led by Hall of Fame-caliber pitchers Randy Johnson (he’s in Cooperstown) and Curt Schilling (his off-the-field issues are keeping him out so far) and former first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, the 2022 National League Most Valuable Player with the St. Louis Cardinals.
However, what the Diamondbacks have never had in their 25-year history is a Rookie of the Year Award winner. Arizona is the only active franchise without one. By comparison, the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers have a record 18 winners dating back to their Brooklyn days.
