BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

They celebrate as well as anybody I've ever been involved with ... You take the Diamondbacks in 1999 and 2001, the celebrations I was involved with in Cleveland, Arizona winning the World Series -- and these guys have this part down right. I just hope they can keep this going on the field and see how the ultimate celebration will go. As far as celebrating, this team has no learning curve. They've got it down solid.

Quotes from articles mentioning Arizona Diamondbacks
We're hoping to help a lot more this year ... We're going to have season-ticket holders that can no longer afford to be and we're going to have fans who would like to be season-ticket holders but can't afford to be. As long as we have the inventory, we'll help as much as we can. It just makes too much sense. We should try and help those that cannot afford them. We want them to have the ability to enjoy a game in person as well.

You can’t speed that process up ... We’re a gifted team athletically, but we make youthful mistakes that give you stomach pains. They’re learning, and playing pretty well while they’re doing it – but the expectations after finishing first last year, and doing so well in the postseason, are on the team now.
