Baseball is starting! Well, maybe. I’ll believe it when a pitch is officially thrown on Opening Day. In any case, just because baseball is supposed to start doesn’t mean there is any new information to write about really. So I’ll continue with my previous plan to talk about what happened on this date, 21-years-ago. That’s right folks. Jose Jimenez’s no hitter can now legally drink.
The 1999 Diamondbacks would ultimately win 100 games, but lose in the NLDS to a worse Mets team. And their pythagorean W-L record was 2 wins better, so they were legitimately a powerhouse team in just their second year of existence.
