The Arizona Diamondbacks will be more than happy to remind the Philadelphia Phillies of what transpired the last time that they met.
Over the weekend, Arizona announced its promotional schedule for the 2024 season, and one particular giveaway drew a lot of attention.
On Aug. 10, when the D-backs welcome the Phillies into town for a weekend series, they will be handing out National League championship replica rings to the first 20,000 fans in attendance.

You can see the giveaway for yourself on the D-backs’ website here.
Arizona won the NL pennant last season, marking its first time doing so since its 2001 World Series win.
It was the Phillies whom they defeated to capture the pennant, beating them in seven games during the 2023 NLCS.
Of course, that is totally fair game for the D-backs based on the simple, time-tested rule of “to the victor goes the spoils.”
It definitely isn’t anywhere near as petty as the 2024 giveaway that will be put on by another NL West team.
