Diamondbacks Security Guarding Pool Following Rangers World Series Win, Bring Dodgers Fans Back to 2017
The Texas Rangers won the 2023 World Series over the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games. They won Games 3, 4 and 5 at Chase Field, and when everyone thinks about Chase Field, one thing comes to mind: The pool.
The Dodgers and the Chase Field pool go way back.
In 2013, the Dodgers celebrated their National League West division title being clinched in Arizona by jumping in the pool. Then, in 2017, the Diamondbacks hired security guards to block the pool so Arizona couldn't celebrate.
This year, Arizona's president said the team wouldn't prevent the Dodgers from celebrating in the pool if they clinched the NLDS there — but they didn't have to worry about that as they beat the Dodgers in three games... and celebrated by jumping in the pool.
While it appeared the Diamondbacks didn't care about the Rangers potentially celebrating in their pool, things seemed to have change. Because as Sam Blum of The Athletic points out, there was clear security around the part of the outfield where the pool is following the Rangers' winning the World Series.
At this point, the Chase Field pool has been way too much of a topic of discussion in the MLB. But if the Diamondbacks don't want people celebrating in their pool, they could 1. just win at home or 2. get rid of it.
