If it takes a village to raise a child, then it’s no wonder it takes a city to bring a Major League Baseball team into existence.

Thanks to a new documentary titled “When Colorado Went Major League,” Rockies fans of all generations can now relive the stories of many of the people who were instrumental in bringing the Colorado Rockies to fruition.
