It’s hard to imagine a more precipitous fall for a team owner (that did not involve some sort of scandal). Three years ago, coming off back-to-back playoff appearances, Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort had a case to be one of the best sports owners in the city or even the league.
But those three years have taken their toll. The team owns a .446 win percentage—a 72-90 record over 162 games—and has had one of the worst offenses in baseball. Last offseason they shipped off one of the best and most beloved players in franchise history in embarrassing fashion.
