D-backs president and CEO Derrick Hall seconded that perspective."We are honored that Major League Baseball selected our franchise to participate in the first-ever series in Australia," he said. "The Diamondbacks take great pride in promoting our brand, as well as the greatest sport, globally. Being at the forefront of spreading international goodwill on this prominent stage is a feat that we enthusiastically embrace and accept."

"Diamondbacks third basemen Martin Prado was later overheard saying "FUCK, we have to go all the way to fucking Australia to open the season? God DAMMIT. Did Derrick Hall lose a bet or something? I know I'm well paid and I shouldn't complaining, but christ this is annoying."
"The Dodgers are absolutely ecstatic to be opening the 2014 championship season in Sydney, one of the greatest cities in the world," Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said. "Our organization is committed to growing the game of baseball internationally, and I'm eager to kick off our season in one of the most exciting and rapidly developing baseball markets on earth."
"When asked for a reaction, Dodgers terrible reliever Brandon League said simply "Fuck! Fuuuck!"
