It’s easy to get caught up in the sadness and disappointment that the end of meaningful Diamondbacks baseball brings, so I wanted to post several highlights from the year that will hopefully help bring a smile to your face. The 2024 D-backs will not go to the playoffs, but they were a better team than last season’s iteration and they were plenty fun to root for. Hope you enjoy!
2024 Highlights
It was off to such a great start…
Everyone will tell their grandkids about the ‘Bee Game’
We found a DH!
Pavin hit not 1…not 2…but 3 Grand Slams!
There were walk-offs
Ryne Nelson announced his presence
Rake McCarthy had his moment
Guillorme was here
Brandon Pfaadt showed off incredible highs
Corbin won Player of the Month
We know, it’s Geno!
JMart did this…
…and this
Ketel was our MVP
And we won 89 games
It was quite a ride. Like any thrill ride, there were plenty of peaks and valleys, but it unfortunately ended leaving our stomachs a little upset. This being the end is disappointing, but we will inevitably be back for more next year. I look forward to seeing those of you who wish to stick around on the threads this winter, but most of all, I look forward to next Spring. Only 177 more days!
