Dec 27, 2011, 8:31 PM | Updated: 11:03 pm

To say the 2011 season was a memorable one for the Arizona
Diamondbacks would be an understatement.

Picked by many to finish at the bottom of the NL West, the
D-backs won 94 games — many in comeback fashion — to
take the division and push the Milwaukee Brewers to five
games in the NLDS.

While it was tough to pick out just 10 moments from the
season, we did our best. So go ahead and enjoy the sounds
of the Arizona Diamondbacks radio network, and let’s look
forward to more great moments next season.
