Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Though their recent performance may not have been the stuff of highlight reels, the Diamondbacks’ playoff ticket was punched nevertheless.
They found themselves relying on other National League Wild Card contenders to stumble and falter, but in the end, a ticket to the postseason is all that counts.
For the loyal fans who have endured years of heartache and disappointment, the method of qualification is inconsequential.
To them, any ticket to the postseason is a ticket to euphoria.
This one’s for Quinton McCracken.
This one’s for Lyle Overbay.
This one’s for Junior Spivey.
This one’s for Micah Owings.
This one’s for Nick Ahmed.
This one’s for Yasmany Tomás.
