Through the years I have collected various photographs of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Some of these are shots I have taken, some are from the various web sites and news agencies. I continue to find pictures that are both interesting timely and add them to my collection. Many of these pictures are used in the header of the pages of NowHitting. I've been asked to provide a gallery so that you can see all of the pictures. Here is a slideshow, I hope you enjoy it.
