The Diamondbacks are facing the Colorado Rockies at Chase Field soon. If you want to see Arizona beat the pants off the Rockies, this is your chance. Here is some info from wiki:

After failed attempts going back as far as the 1880s, by the early 1990s a major league baseball team seemed a possibility in Denver. The Colorado Baseball Commission, led by banking executive Larry Varnell, was successful in getting Denver voters to approve a 0.1 percent sales tax to help finance a new baseball stadium. Also, an advisory committee was formed in 1990 by then-Governor of Colorado Roy Romer to recruit an ownership group. The group selected was led by John Antonucci, an Ohio beverage distributor, and Michael I. Monus, the head of the Phar-Mor drugstore chain. Local and regional companies such as Erie Lake, Hensel Phelps Construction, KOA Radio and the Rocky Mountain News rounded out the group. On July 5, 1991, the National League approved Denver and Miami, Florida as the sites for two expansion teams to begin play in 1993.

The Rockies joined the National League in 1993, along with the Miami franchise, the Florida Marlins. The Rockies’ first pick in the expansion draft was pitcher David Nied from the Atlanta Braves organization. Nied pitched 4 seasons for the Rockies. The team’s first home at-bat was a memorable one, as lead off batter Eric Young hit a home run for the Rockies.
