The Colorado Rockies is a MLB or Major League Baseball team established in 1991 and whose headquarters is located in Denver, Colorado. The team started playing in the National League’s West Division in 1993 together with the Florida Marlins which is a Southern Florida franchise.
The Colorado Rockies was named after the Rocky Mountains which is a mountain range located west of Denver in Colorado. Their homecourt is located at Coors Field in the downtown area of the city.
The Rockies, for most of the 2007 season, trailed behind the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres. In the near end of the season, however, the team showed a steady stream of wins until, for the first time since 1995, they successfully earned a place in the playoffs.
The team then went on to win both the league championship and the division series in the same postseason. It was the team’s first win in the history of its franchise.
