About Colorado Rockies in brief
The Colorado Rockies are an American professional baseball team based in Denver, Colorado. The Rockies compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League West division. The team plays its home baseball games at Coors Field, which is located in the Lower Downtown area of Denver. It is owned by the Monfort brothers and managed by Bud Black. They began play as an expansion team for the 1993 season, and played their home games for their first two seasons at Mile High Stadium. Since 1995, they have played at Coor’s Field, known as a hitter’s park. They have qualified for the postseason five times, each time as a Wild Card winner. In 2007, the Rockies advanced to the World Series, only to be swept by the Boston Red Sox in four games. Like their expansion brethren, the Miami Marlins, they are also one of two current MLB teams that have never won their division. Their newest spring training home, Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona, opened in March 2011 and is shared with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Their home uniform is white with purple pinstripes. The front of the uniform is emblazoned with the team name in silver trimmed in black, and letters and numerals are in black trimmed in silver. In 2000, numerals were added to the chest. In the 2000 season, piping was replaced with purple with white trim and trim in the front. The Colorado Rockies originally wore an alternate black uniform during their maiden season, but started wearing black sleeveless, featuring the city name, for the 2005 season. The uniform featured the name in white, purple, and silver trim, with purple numerals in white trim, and white trim in purple. The name was previously used by the city’s first NHL team, the Denver Zephyrs. They took the name \”Rockies\” due to Denver’s proximity to the Rocky Mountains.
