Five Years From a Clinch

I was in college in 2011, and wasn't actually a writer for this website yet. Weird, I know. However, On this day back then, the Diamondbacks were hosting a "College Night" which meant $5 tickets in the nosebleeds, so I felt like I applied (even though the online ticketing there didn't check whether or not you were in college.) I was also feeling kinda overwhelmed with it at the time, I won't bore you with details, so I thought that driving up from Tucson for a game would be a nice thing to help clear my head.

Of course, that game had a caveat that no Diamondbacks game since has had: If they were to defeat the defending champion San Francisco Giants, they would clinch the National League West…
