Baxter the Bobcat was introduced as the Diamondbacks mascot on June 23, 2000 after Brantley Bell (son of former D-Back Jay Bell) explained to his dad that the team needed a BOB cat as a mascot since the team played in the Bank One Ballpark. After Bell told management of his son's idea, Baxter was born.
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Yankees in the 2001 World Series.
