Kirk Gibson Bench Coach, Arizona Diamondbacks by Dave Pratt

If you were trying to convince Tommy Lasorda that Arizona is one of the most beautiful places in the world, where would you take him?
Everybody knows how fond Tommy Lasorda is of pasta, so the first thing I’d do is take him out for a night on the town in Old Town Scottsdale. There are a lot of great Italian places there, and we could probably convince him to keep coming back to Arizona.

Favorite spring training ballpark in Arizona?
Scottsdale Stadium has a great atmosphere. They get a lot of our fans out there, and it’s usually a sold-out game. After the game, there are several great places to go around the park.

Who would do a better job of steering a raft through the rapids on the Colorado River: Stephen Drew or Justin Upton?
Stephen Drew. He’s an avid hunter and fisherman, so his outdoor experience would probably benefit him on the rapids. Plus, if we got stranded someplace, he’d be able to get us some food.
