Did You Know
The '''Colorado Rockies''' are a Major League Baseball team based in Denver, Colorado. Established in 1993, the Rockies play in the West Division of the National League. The team is named after the Rocky Mountains, which pass through Colorado, just west of Denver. The Rockies play their home games at Coors Field in downtown Denver.
Following multiple losing seasons, the Rockies won the National League pennant for the first time in franchise history during the 2007 season.
History
Creation of the Rockies
After previous failed attempts to bring the Major League Baseball to Colorado (most notably the Pittsburgh Pirates nearly relocating to Denver following the Pittsburgh drug trials in 1985), by the early 1990s a team seemed to be a possibility in Denver. The Colorado Baseball Commission, led by banking executive Larry Varnell, was successful in getting Denver voters to approve a 0.1 percent sales tax to help finance a new baseball stadium. Also, an advisory committee was formed in 1990 by then-Governor of Colorado Roy Romer to recruit an ownership group. The group selected was led by John Antonucci, an Ohio beverage distributor, and Michael I. Monus, the head of the Phar-Mor drugstore chain. Local and regional companies-such as Erie Lake, Hensel Phelps Construction, KOA Radio, and the Rocky Mountain News-rounded out the group. On July 5, 1991, the National League approved Denver and Miami, Florida, as the sites for two expansion teams to begin play in 1993.
The Rockies joined the National League in 1993, along with the Southern Florida franchise, the Florida Marlins. The Rockies' first pick in the expansion draft was pitcher David Nied from the Atlanta Braves organization. Nied pitched 4 seasons for the Rockies.

The team continued to perform well as the following two seasons, the Rockies yet again posted the same winning record of 83 – 79 for the season 1996 and 1997. MLB season, 2000 was the last time when the Rockies winded up the season with a winning record since then they have been struggling to record a season win.
Signing big names did not help the Rockies at all, so for 2005 season, the Rockies emphasized on revamping the lineup by picking young players for all the positions. The Colorado Rockies looks determined to carve a niche for themselves.
Will they be successful this time? Find out by getting tickets to the Colorado Rockies MLB events.
