Ranking the Top 10 best Colorado-born baseball players in major-league history

Colorado isn’t an elite baseball state like California or Texas, where sheer population and year-round warm weather cultivate an endless stream of top draft picks and major-leaguers.

But Colorado has had plenty of outstanding players emerge from its borders, especially for a snow state. Here’s a ranking of The Denver Post’s 10 greatest Colorado baseball players of all time. To be eligible for this list, players must be born in Colorado and played high school baseball here (if applicable).
