Trivia
- When Bank One Ballpark opened on March 31, 1998, it became the second park to open in March (Tropicana Field opened a few hours earlier on 3/31/1998).
- Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati opened on 3/31/2003, making it the third park to open in March, then Nationals Park topped all three when it opened on March 30, 2008.
- Cecil Fielder's grand slam, the first in Bank One Ballpark's history, was quickly followed by the park's second grand slam hit a half-inning later by Diamondbacks left fielder Yamil Benitez.
