The Dbacks fight back from down 3 games to 0 to stun Marcus Brady and the Angels in 7 games, capturing the first World Series Title for Arizona and sending the people of Phoenix into the streets with jubilation. After 11 playoff appearances, it finally came together for the Dbacks; Sweeping the Pirates in Round 1, taking down the heavy favorites Quebec in R-2, and taking down the evil empire of Cleveland in R-3 before shocking the Angels and baseball world down 3-0 in the WS to come back and win.
Is Marcus Brady being replaced? 5th year starter and fellow former number one overall pick Junior Santos out-dueled the future HOFer Marcus Brady to bring the title to the desert. After four straight CY seasons (and possibly a 5th this season), are we seeing the beginning of the end for the league's first overall pick ever? Time will tell, but what we do know is he will be sticking around LAA for a little longer as the Angels have placed their franchise tag on him. Most competitive playoffs yet? The Dbacks just became the first wild card team to win the World Series, and just the second to even reach the World Series (S-3 Mariners). 3 of the 4 Wild Card teams got past the first round, with Detroit being the only one to fail. This shows that Wild Card teams are stronger than ever, and unless you are fortunate enough to be in a weak division, you are going to need to have a near 100 win team to reach the playoffs right now
