Christmas is a time of giving and for the Colorado Rockies they were generous enough to provide some of the best on-field contributors at 20th and Blake.
From the uncertainty while awaiting selection as the 27th MLB franchise and dealing with others’ skepticism associated with playing at altitude, the Rockies have endured in becoming a successful organization, winning and retaining fans, achieving post-season playoff success, and arguably equally important, revitalizing Denver for economic growth and building stronger community.
The Rockies’ past would not have an opportunity to meet the present had the franchise been awarded to the city of Tampa rather than Denver.
