A brief history of the Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are a Major League Baseball team based in Denver, Colorado. The Rockies play in the National League Western Division. The Rockies are owned by a group headed by Charlie Monfort. The Rockies are managed by Clint Hurdle and they play their home games at beautiful Coors Field in Denver. Coors Field, known as a hitter friendly park, was opened in 1995 and seats over 50,000 baseball fans.

The Colorado Rockies joined the National League Western Division of Major League Baseball as an expansion team in 1993 along with the Florida Marlins. The Rockies played their home games at Mile High Stadium from 1993 and 1994 until their new stadium, Coors Field, was complete in 1995. The Rockies first manager was Don Baylor and in three short years he had the Rockies in the playoffs as a Wild Card team. The Rockies had All Star players like Andres Galarraga, Vinny Castilla, Larry Walker and Dante Bichette to lead the way. The Rockies lost in the 1995 divisional playoffs to Atlanta Braves 3 games to 1 but the future seemed bright for this franchise.

The Colorado Rockies had ownership problems before they even played their first game. An embezzlement scandal at Phar-Mor tarnished the reputation of Michael Monus and John Antonucci, the heads of the first ownership group. In 1993, Jerry McMorris, a trucking company executive, became head of the ownership group were he remained until 2005 when he was bought out by the current owners Charlie and Dick Monfort.

The Rockies moved into their new stadium, Coors Field, in 1995 and have been there ever since. In the first years, Attendance was really high for the Rockies. Ticket sales were through the roof right from the start as the Rockies set attendance records of over 4,000,000 fans in one season. Attendance dropped in 2002 to under 3,000,000 and has steadily declined each season since. The main reason for the decline in attendance has been poor play by the Rockies. The Rockies have failed to make the post season in the past 11 years.

Jim Leyland replaced Don Baylor and managed the Rockies for one season, 1999. Buddy Bell was hired to manage the club in 2000 and was replaced during the 2002 season by current team manager Clint Hurdle. Hurdle played ten seasons in the major leagues as a utility player. The Rockies job was Hurdles first managing position. During the four plus years that Hurdle has been the Rockies manager the team has yet to finish above .500 and no better than forth in the Western Division.

The 2006 season for the Colorado Rockies was suppose to be a stepping stone for years to come. The team had changed its philosophy of signing older veteran stars and began relying on young talent from their farm system. The Rockies showed slight improvement over the previous years by winning 76 games in 2006, the most since they won 82 games in 2000. The 2006 Rockies were led by All Star players like Todd Helton, Jamey Carroll, Garrett Atkins, Matt Holliday and Brad Hawpe. The Rockies have a solid group of young superstars but need significant help on the pitching side. The 2006 starting pitching for the Rockies posted only 50 wins versus 60 losses. One thing is for sure, if the Rockies can get some solid starting pitching they will be a force in the National League West in the upcoming 2007 season.
