Top ESPN Insider Concedes Defeat to Sport’s ‘Dumbest Tradition’ as Underdog MLB Team Secures a World Series Berth After 22 Long Years

Arizona Diamondbacks have done it! Not only have they won the NLCS but have actually done more. It’s a known fact that Baseball crowds have their traditional ways to show support to their team. Yankee Stadium does the roll calls but the D-Backs way has always been the one that has been trolled by fans of every other team.

Dubbed as the “Dumbest Tradition” by the baseball world. The Diamondback “wave” was a laughing stock for fans. But now with their win in the NLCS, the story is different. For now, it’s the D-backs who have had the last laugh.

Jeff Passan of ESPN acknowledges the wave

The Diamondback fans have always loved to show support to their team through their traditional “wave”. While rival fans call it played out, the D-backs do not care much. Now, as the NLCS has come to an end with their victory, the bragging rights have come to the Diamondbacks. This has led to the wave getting acknowledgment from popular ESPN Insider Jeff Passan. Not only did he change his opinions but also conceded defeat to the wave. So this is what he tweeted.

The D-backs fans must be soaring in the sky right now. Still, the real pride comes from their team becoming the unlikely National League Champion. It has gone from strength to strength during this NLCS with Ketel Marte being named MVP. And now that the World Series awaits, the fans are sure to show their biggest waves yet to the team.

While the D-Backs started the NLCS with two losses, they managed to not only claw their way back to the series but actually did so in an utterly dominant fashion. In Games 6 and 7, they dismantled the formidable Philadelphia Phillies in their own home. The Phillies fans, known to be the loudest in the country, were left bewildered when their team just could not manage to get the better of their opposition.

The Rangers, on the other hand, started the ALCS with two wins, then proceeded to lose all three of their home games. Again, it was Games 6 and 7 that completely turned the tide towards them. As the teams have shown their class and heart, this World Series is sure to be one to watch. What will the result be? Who do you think will prevail in this battle of underdogs?
