The Coors Factor: Does it REALLY make Colorado Rockies offense better?

Spring Training has finally started and that sweet, sweet sound of the crack of the bat is back in the air at Salt River Fields. That glorious sound will finally be back at Coors Field on April 3 in the Rockies’ home opener against the San Diego Padres. And as much as we love to hear that sound so consistently when the Rockies are up at the plate, we’ll have to dig our heels in to get ready to combat another sound that we hear way too often: “Coooooooooooooooors.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the “Coors” take, it’s simply attributing a hitter’s success with the Rockies to the fact that he plays at a higher altitude.
