Preview, #30: 4/30 vs. Yankees

Games against the New York Yankees at Chase Field will always have a special frisson, simply because they will inevitably evoke memories of the 2001 World Series. That was now approaching 18 years ago, but it remains the greatest sporting moment in the century-plus history of Arizona as a state - not just for the success, but the amazing way in which it was achieved. You literally would not have been allowed to write that ending as a script. It would have been too unbelievable to have the Diamondbacks rallying from defeat, in the bottom of the ninth inning of the winner-take-all game, against the most dominant reliever in the history of the game.
