Brad Ziegler becomes first Arizona player to use D-backs' bullpen cart

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks brought back an old tradition this season with a bullpen cart. One problem: None of the Diamondbacks wanted to use it.

Brad Ziegler changed that when he entered the game against the San Francisco Giants in the seventh inning Thursday night, drawing cheers from the hometown fans.

Only a handful of opposing players have used the cart during games, though Jake Diekman used it to switch clubhouses after being traded from the Texas Rangers to Arizona in the middle of a two-game series this week.
