Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2009 | Series: 100 Things...Fans Should Know

The Colorado Rockies are a young franchise that burst on the scene in 1993 to sell-out crowds and surprising early success. But nothing in Rockies history could compare to the team's unprecedented and dramatic drive to the National League pennant in 2007. It was an amazing time to watch baseball at Coors Field. That championship experience and the importance of the team in the Mountain West are underscored in 100 Things Rockies Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.
