Diamondbacks Legends Race

In 2010 the Arizona Diamondbacks introduced a new in-game race featuring caricatures representing four Arizona Diamondbacks Legends. The Legends are Luis Gonzalez, Mark Grace, Randy Johnson, and Matt Williams. At the end of the fifth inning the Legends will race from the visitor's bullpen in right field along the edge of the playing surface past the visitor's dugout on the first base line around the plate ending at the home team's on-deck circle. When the Legends Race started in 2010, each of the legends represented a section of the stadium with the winning section receiving a prize from Jack-in-the-Box who was sponsoring the races.

For a brief amount of time, the Legends races along with the Hot Dog Derby were featured in the MLB Ballpark app where fans at the ballpark could vote for who they thought would win the races. That part of the Interactive Games was eliminated for the 2024 season.

Whenever I am at the game those sitting around me always want to know which Legend won the last race so they can attempt to predict the winner that night. As a result I am now tracking this information in my scorebook. Check back often to see how your favorite Legend is doing.

About This Site

When people come across the site; many of them assume it is managed and maintained by the Arizona Diamondbacks or Major League Baseball Media. That is not the case. It was created out of equal parts of passion and desperation by one fan who at the time had a difficult time finding information about the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team was relatively new and did not yet have a loyal following. Likewise the Internet was just taking off and there were very few sites that provided information about baseball especially the newest franchise.
