When you think of the best team in D-backs history, your mind probably lands on the 2001 World Series champions, and it s a title they deserve.
You might be surprised to learn that the 2001 team actually didn t have the best regular-season record.
Here s a look at the Top 5 regular-season records by D-backs teams over the years:
1) 1999, 100-62
After watching his team struggle to a 65-97 record in its inaugural 1998 season, then-D-backs owner Jerry Colangelo spent heavily on free agents, including left-hander Randy Johnson, center fielder Steve Finley, left-hander Greg Swindell and versatile infielder Greg Colbrunn. General manager Joe Garagiola Jr. then pulled off a steal of a deal with the Tigers, acquiring outfielder Luis Gonzalez for Minor Leaguer Karim Garcia.
