SOURCE: Rockies to honor Denver’s Negro League history with throwback uniforms | BSN Denver
Established in 1993, the Colorado Rockies are among the youngest franchises in Major League Baseball. The history of baseball in Denver goes back much further. The Denver Bears were a minor-league team in the Western League from 1885 until 1954. The New Orleans Baby Cakes, current Pacific Coast League Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, were housed in Denver as the Bears from 1955-1984, and were then known as the Denver Zephyrs until 1992 before the Major-League Baseball team we all have come to know and love moved into Mile High Stadium.
