No splashing! D-backs security prevents Rangers pool party after winning World Series

Arizona Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall said during this year's National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers that there wouldn’t be a protocol stopping teams from jumping in the pool.

But Wednesday night's World Series win for the Texas Rangers showed a different story.

Following the Rangers' 5-0 win to clinch the World Series, there was a significant amount of security on the field in front of the pool and around the pool.

The D-backs did not have a statement on the matter.

Hall said during the NLDS that the Dodgers could potentially celebrate in the pool if they were to win at Chase Field.

"They have the right to celebrate however they want, wherever they want," Hall said. "They've certainly earned that opportunity."

Since the Dodgers infamously jumped into the pool in 2013 after clinching the NL West at Chase Field, there was some uproar. In 2017, the D-backs had police mounted on horseback outside of the pool following the Dodgers' NLDS sweep.

Throughout the playoffs, players on the Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies have mentioned the pool. Former D-backs player David Peralta said playing at Chase Field with the Dodgers is "all blue." Phillies backup catcher Garrett Stubbs said when the Phillies were two wins away from clinching the NLCS that they would be "bee-lining" it for the water.

Now that a team did win series at Chase Field, the pool celebration was off limits.
