More Colorado Rockies Information

In 1995 the Rockies moved into their new home, Coors Field. With their formidable lineup and home field advantage, the Rockies were able to reach the postseason in only their 3rd year in existence. The Rockies were able to hit homeruns from almost any spot in the order and with sluggers like Andres Gallaraga, Dante Bichette, Larry Walker, and Vinny Castilla they were dubbed the “Blake Street Bombers”.

Ending the Playoff Draught

Unfortunately, their hitting never compared to their pitching and the Rockies were bounced from the first round of the playoffs. This started a playoff draught in Denver which didn’t end until 2007 when the Rockies made it all the way to the World Series. Despite the lack of competitive teams, the Rockies continued to sell out Coors Field. A beautiful new stadium, located in the heart of Denver, treats fans to a picturesque backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. The beauty of the scenery and the excitement of baseball in Denver have allowed the Rockies to routinely lead the league in attendance.
