The Colorado Rockies are almost a novelty act that turns out a good baseball team once in a blue moon. Denver’s high altitude means Coors Field practically makes for a season-long home run derby and fans turn out in droves to watch the show. Believe it or not, the Rockies have never ranked lower than 14th in average attendance in the last decade.
That’s not bad considering the team has made the playoffs a whopping five times since debuting in 1993. A miraculous run to the World Series in 2007 seems almost a distant memory. Now, the Rockies are trying to win in an NL West that’s getting more competitive with each passing year.
