Arizona debuted in 1954 and made five total appearances in the ‘50s. The Wildcats showed up three times each in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, while winning the 1976, 1980 and 1986 titles. Then came a slump of just one appearance between 1986 and 2012, though the program has reached the CWS four times since then.
