Arizona Diamondbacks
In 1996, Dr. Rohm was hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks professional baseball team to help draft potential players by personality style. In his initial meeting with Joe Garagiola, Jr., the General Manager for the Diamondback organization, Dr. Rohm told him, “I only have one request. When the Diamondbacks win the World Series, I want a World Series ring.” Joe Garagiola laughed and said, “When we win the World Series, you will get your ring!”
Well, guess what? In 2001, the Diamondbacks won the World Series, and they won it faster than any other team in baseball history. True to their word, the Diamondback organization sent Dr. Rohm a World Series ring, with the inscription “Fastest Ever”.
