Building a legacy

A team of chemistry and high expectations

How they framed it

The paper dedicates its entire Sunday front page to a retrospective feature on a past local sporting triumph, adopting a magazine-style approach that prioritises nostalgia over breaking news.

Context

The Arizona Diamondbacks won the Major League Baseball World Series in 2001, remaining a significant point of pride for the state. This front page promotes the second instalment of a nine-part historical series, likely capitalising on the start of the spring baseball season or a milestone anniversary.
