You will likely not be shocked to learn that reaching the World Series for the first time in 22 years had a positive impact on confidence. Yeah: surprised Pikachu face. The way the team swept the Brewers and Dodgers out of the play-offs, then clawed their way past the Phillies after a ferocious battle, can only be commended, even if the Diamondbacks then ran out of steam in the World Series against Texas. Still, even reaching the Championship Series, never mind winning it, was the best post-season performance by Arizona for more than two decades. Inevitably, coming off that baseball high, the confidence results at the start of November were almost unanimously positive.
