DBacks number 1 franchise in baseball?

ESPN seems to think so.

ESPN the Magazine tabs D-backs as #1 MLB team in Ultimate Standings | dbacks.com: News

The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) have been ranked the No. 1 franchise in Major League Baseball and rank sixth overall in sports in ESPN the Magazine's Ultimate Standings issue that hits newsstands tomorrow.

The rankings are based off results from fan surveys and financial analysis and focus on eight categories, including fan relations, affordability, "bang for the buck," stadium experience, players, ownership, title track and coaching.

Good shit.... seriously a lot of this has to do with Derek Hall. That guy is awesome.

Chase Field is very affordable and a great place to watch a baseball game. Out of the 10+ parks I've been to I can say there's no other place id rather watch a game than Chase. Not just because it's my team either.

Awesome!!!

This needs to be getting more recognition than it is.

I am not surprised. This all Derrick Hall. I really hope he doesn't get nod to be the next commissioner.

Compared to most teams that have constantly competing for a playoff spot over the last few seasons, Chase is easily the most affordable stadium.

Yeah man, this team is definitely fan centered. Those deals they would give out of no where for tickets and stuff was amazing. I don't remember the exact deal, but the Giants series early on was especially good, I ended up getting tickets for all the games. And that was 1 of like 40 they did this year.

Wow, after reading my post when quoted, it seems I like the grasp of the English language.

Do I need to ban you from the Diamondbacks forum? Because you sure as hell serve no purpose in being here if you're just going to continue to act like an asshole.

If you're that sensitive then do it. I'm just having fun talking baseball, I can't help it if you get offended every time you lose an argument.

You seem to bring nothing productive to the any conversation. I'm sure if you ask most AZ fans they'll agree with me that they'd take Prado over Upton on our current team if that's the "argument" that you're referring to.
