To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we wait for the World Series to start and prepare for the uncertainty of the 2027 season due to labor strife, this offseason we will once again take a look at the leaders, both offensively and defensively, against all 30 clubs. We start today with the Colorado Rockies.
The Rockies began life in 1993, joining the National League along with the then-Florida Marlins. I saw them for the first time in 2002, as they came to town to battle the Cubs. Since then, I’ve seen them 21 additional times, including the 2018 Wild Card game, a trip to their home stadium of Coors Field in 2022, and to wrap up the 2026 regular season at Rate Field.
