The '''Colorado Rockies''' are an American professional [[baseball]] team based in [[Denver]]. The Rockies compete in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) as a member club of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) [[National League West|West Division]]. The team plays its home baseball games at [[Coors Field]], which is located in the [[LoDo, Denver|Lower Downtown]] area of Denver. The club is owned by the [[Monfort brothers]].

The Rockies began as an [[1993 Major League Baseball expansion|expansion team]] for the [[1993 Major League Baseball season|1993 season]] and played their home games for their first two seasons at [[Mile High Stadium]]. Since [[1995 Colorado Rockies season|1995]], they have played at Coors Field, which has earned a reputation as a [[hitter's park]], as demonstrated by the 1995 team that had four players ([[Dante Bichette]], [[Vinny Castilla]], [[Andrés Galarraga]], and [[Larry Walker]]) each hit for 30 home runs; they were nicknamed the "Blake Street Bombers." The Rockies have qualified for the [[Major League Baseball postseason|postseason]] five times, each time as a [[List of National League Wild Card winners|Wild Card winner]]. In [[2007 Colorado Rockies season|2007]], the team earned its only [[List of National League pennant winners|NL pennant]] after winning 14 of their final 15 games in the regular season to secure a Wild Card position, capping the streak off with a 13-inning 9–8 victory against the [[San Diego Padres]] in the tiebreaker game affectionately known as [[2007 National League Wild Card tie-breaker game|"Game 163"]] by Rockies fans. The Rockies then proceeded to sweep the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] and [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] in the [[2007 National League Division Series|NLDS]] and [[2007 National League Championship Series|NLCS]] and entered the [[2007 World Series]] as winners of 21 of their last 22 games. However, they were swept by the [[American League]] (AL) champions [[2007 Boston Red Sox season|Boston Red Sox]] in four games. As the Rockies were swept in their only World Series appearance, they are one of only two teams never to win a World Series game, along with the [[Seattle Mariners]], who have never reached the World Series.

At the end of 2024, the Rockies have an all-time record of {{Win–loss record|w=2,321|l=2,699}}. This {{winpct|2,321|2,699}} winning percentage is one of the [[List of all-time Major League Baseball win–loss records|worst among active MLB franchises]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Colorado Rockies Team History & Encyclopedia |url=https://baseballreference.com/teams/COL/index |website=Baseball Reference |access-date=May 27, 2020 |archive-date=February 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225004036/https://baseballreference.com/teams/COL/index |url-status=dead}}</ref> After the [[2022–23 Denver Nuggets season|Denver Nuggets]] won the [[2023 NBA Finals]], the Rockies became the only one of Denver's franchises in the [[Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada|major North American professional sports leagues]] yet to win a championship.

[[Denver]] had long been a hotbed of [[Minor League Baseball|minor league baseball]] as far back as the late 19th century with the original [[Denver Bears (Western League)|Denver Bears (or Grizzlies)]] competing in the [[Western League (1900–1958)|Western League]] before being replaced in 1955 by a [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]] team of the same name.

In 1958, New York lawyer [[William Shea]] proposed the new [[Continental League]] as a rival to the two existing major leagues. In 1960, the Continental League announced that play would begin in April 1961 with eight teams, including one in Denver headed by [[Bob Howsam]]. The new league quickly evaporated, never playing a game, when the National League reached expansion agreements to put teams in [[New York Mets|New York City]] and [[Houston Colt 45s|Houston]], removing much of the impetus behind the Continental League effort. Following the [[Pittsburgh drug trials]] in 1985, an unsuccessful attempt was made to purchase the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] and relocate them. However, in January 1990, Colorado's chances for a new team improved when Coors Brewing Company became a limited partner with the AAA [[Denver Zephyrs]].<ref name="ColoradoReady">{{cite news |title=Colorado must be ready when major leagues beckon |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/52227422/colorado-must-be-ready-when-major/ |work=The Daily Sentinel |date=January 7, 1990 |pages=29 |quote=Denver received a big boost this past week when Coors Brewing Co. signed a letter of agreement to become a limited partner in the Denver Zephyrs, a Class AAA franchise playing in the American Association. ...

In 1991, as part of Major League Baseball's two-team expansion (along with the [[Miami Marlins|Florida (now Miami) Marlins]]), an ownership group representing Denver led by John Antonucci and [[Michael I. Monus]] was granted a franchise.<ref name="OfficiallyRockies">{{cite news |title=It's official: Colorado Rockies in |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/52226721/its-official-colorado-rockies-in/ |work=The Daily Sentinel |date=July 5, 1991 |pages=10 |access-date=May 27, 2020 |archive-date=January 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102184002/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/52226721/its-official-colorado-rockies-in/ |url-status=live }}</ref> They took the name "Rockies" due to Denver's proximity to the [[Rocky Mountains]], which is reflected in their logo; the name was previously used by the city's [[Colorado Rockies (NHL)|first NHL team]], now the [[New Jersey Devils]]. Monus and Antonucci were forced to drop out in 1992 after Monus's reputation was ruined by an accounting scandal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&sportCat=mlb&id=3074665|title=Rockies born of Monus' work, but he never saw his baby grow up|first=Gene |last=Wojciechowski|work=ESPN.com|date=October 22, 2007|accessdate=June 1, 2024}}</ref> Trucking magnate [[Jerry McMorris]] stepped in at the 11th hour to save the franchise, allowing the team to begin play in 1993. The Rockies shared Mile High Stadium with the [[National Football League]] (NFL)'s [[Denver Broncos]] for their first two seasons while [[Coors Field]] was constructed. It was completed for the [[1995 Major League Baseball season]].
[[File:Rockiescelebratewin.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|The Rockies in June [[2007 Colorado Rockies season|2007]]. Later the same year, Colorado won its first NL pennant]]
In [[1993 Major League Baseball season|1993]], they began play in the [[National League West]]. That year the Rockies set the all-time Major League record for attendance, drawing 4,483,350 fans, still the MLB record. The Rockies were MLB's first team based in the [[Mountain Time Zone]]. They have reached the [[Major League Baseball postseason]] five times, each time as the National League [[wild card (sports)|wild card]] team. Twice ([[1995 Major League Baseball season|1995]] and [[2009 Major League Baseball season|2009]]), they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. In [[2007 Major League Baseball season|2007]], the Rockies advanced to the [[World Series]], only to be swept by the [[2007 Boston Red Sox season|Boston Red Sox]]. The team's [[Glossary of baseball (S)|stretch run]] was among the greatest ever for a Major League Baseball team. Having a record of 76–72 at the start of play on September 16, the Rockies proceeded to win 14 of their final 15 regular season games.<ref>[https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/COL/2007-schedule-scores.shtml 2007 Colorado Rockies Schedule and Results]. Baseball-Reference.com. Retrieved October 15, 2014.</ref> The stretch culminated with a 9–8, 13-inning victory over the [[San Diego Padres]] in a [[2007 National League Wild Card tie-breaker game|one-game playoff]] for the wild card berth. Colorado then swept their first seven playoff games to win the [[2007 National League Championship Series|NL pennant]]. At the start of the World Series, the Rockies had won a total of 21 out of 22 games. Fans and media nicknamed their improbable October run "Rocktober".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Saunders|first=Patrick|date=October 23, 2012|title=Rocktober: When the Rockies accomplished the impossible in 2007|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2012/10/23/rocktober-when-the-rockies-accomplished-the-impossible-in-2007/|access-date=December 22, 2020|website=The Denver Post|language=en-US}}</ref>

Colorado made postseason berths in 2017 and 2018. In 2018, the Rockies became the first team since the [[1922 Philadelphia Phillies]] to play in four cities against four teams in five days, including the 162nd game of the regular season, [[2018 National League West tie-breaker game|NL West tie-breaker]], [[2018 National League Wild Card Game|NL Wild Card Game]] and [[2018 National League Division Series|NLDS]] Game 1,<ref>{{Cite episode

Like their expansion brethren, the Marlins, they have never won a division title since their establishment and they, along with the Marlins and Pittsburgh Pirates, are also one of three MLB teams that have never won their current division. The Rockies have played their home games at [[Coors Field]] since 1995. Their [[spring training]] home, [[Salt River Fields at Talking Stick]] in Scottsdale, Arizona, opened in March 2011 and is shared with the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]].

In 2023 and 2024, the Colorado Rockies lost over 100 games each season (103 games in 2023 and 101 in 2024). In 2025, the Rockies obtained the worst start to a season of any team through 39 games, starting off at 6-33 (.154 winning percentage).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-11 |title=What are the worst records in MLB history? |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40711227/what-worst-records-mlb-history |access-date=2025-05-17 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> The Rockies then fell to 30 games below .500, accomplishing that mark in just 44 games. Their record was 7-37, a .159 winning percentage.

=== Controversies ===
On June 1, 2006, ''[[USA Today]]'' reported that Rockies management, including manager [[Clint Hurdle]], had instituted an explicitly Christian code of conduct for the team's players, banning men's magazines (such as ''[[Maxim (magazine)|Maxim]]'' and ''[[Playboy]]'') and sexually explicit music from the team's clubhouse.<ref>{{Citation |last=Nightengale |first=Bob |title=Baseball's Rockies seek revival on two levels |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/rockies/2006-05-30-rockies-cover_x.htm |access-date=September 26, 2007 | work=USA Today | date=June 1, 2006}}</ref> The article sparked controversy, and soon-after ''[[The Denver Post]]'' published an article featuring many Rockies players contesting the claims made in the ''USA Today'' article.<ref>{{Citation |last=Renck |first=Troy E. |title=Team takes issue with portrayal |url=http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_3885222 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070404231929/http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_3885222 |archive-date=April 4, 2007 |access-date=September 26, 2007 |work=Denver Post |date=June 1, 2006}}</ref> Former Rockies pitcher [[Jason Jennings]] said: "[The article in ''USA Today''] was just bad. I am not happy at all. Some of the best teammates I have ever had are the furthest thing from Christian," Jennings said. "You don't have to be a Christian to have good character. They can be separate. [The article] was misleading."

On October 17, 2007, a week before the first game of the [[2007 World Series]] against the Boston Red Sox, the Colorado Rockies announced that tickets were to be available to the general public via online sales only, despite prior arrangements to sell the tickets at local retail outlets. Five days later on October 22, California-based ticket vendor Paciolan, Inc., the sole contractor authorized by the Colorado Rockies to distribute tickets, was forced to suspend sales after less than an hour due to an overwhelming number of attempts to purchase tickets. An official statement from the Rockies claimed that they were the victims of a [[denial of service attack]]. These claims, however, were unsubstantiated and neither the Rockies nor Paciolan have sought investigation into the matter. The United States [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] started its own investigation into the claims.<ref>{{cite web |first=Jane |last=Slater, 7NEWS Reporter |url=http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/14425776/detail.html |title=FBI Looking Into 'Malicious Attack' During Ticket Sales&nbsp;– Denver Sports News Story&nbsp;– KMGH Denver |publisher=Thedenverchannel.com |date=October 25, 2007 |access-date=November 12, 2011 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927010038/http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/14425776/detail.html |archive-date=September 27, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/playoffs2007/news/story?id=3080873 |title=FBI opens investigation into 'attack' on Rockies ticket system&nbsp;– MLB |publisher=ESPN |date=October 26, 2007 |access-date=November 12, 2011}}</ref> Ticket sales resumed the next day, with all three home games selling out within two and a half hours.

In March 2021, [[Ken Rosenthal]] and Nick Groke reported in ''[[The Athletic]]'' that, during the {{mlby|2020}} season, the Rockies had made baseball operations personnel work as clubhouse attendants in addition to their front office duties, resulting in work days lasting up to 17 hours.<ref name="Groke">{{cite news |last1=Groke |first1=Nick |last2=Rosenthal |first2=Ken |title=Communication failures, poor decisions and messy breakups: How it all went wrong for the Colorado Rockies |url=https://theathletic.com/2467223/2021/03/22/communication-failures-poor-decisions-and-messy-breakups-how-it-all-went-wrong-for-the-colorado-rockies/ |access-date=April 4, 2022 |work=[[The Athletic]] |date=March 22, 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Former staffers described doing laundry for players while team personnel asked them for scouting and statistical information.

One of the Rockies' team colors is [[purple]] which was inspired by the line "For purple mountain majesties" in "[[America the Beautiful]]." The shades of the color used by the club lacked uniformity until [[Pantone|PMS]] 2685 was established as the official purple beginning with the [[2017 Colorado Rockies season|2017 season]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Harding|first=Thomas|title=Rockies outfitted with one shade of purple|url=https://www.mlb.com/rockies/news/rockies-stick-to-one-specific-shade-of-purple-c214749496|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Rockies.com|date=January 30, 2017|access-date=May 26, 2022}}</ref>

The Rockies' home uniform is white with purple pinstripes, and the Rockies are the first team in Major League history to wear purple pinstripes.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rockies Timeline|url=https://www.mlb.com/rockies/history/timeline|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Rockies.com|access-date=April 12, 2021|url-status=live|quote=July 4 - The Rockies unveil their traditional 1993 uniforms (home, away, and Sunday alternate) at a Team USA-Team Cuba baseball game at Mile High Stadium before 61,165 fans. Included on the home uniform is purple pinstripes, making the Rockies the first team in Major League history to feature purple stripes. The club's road uniform is gray and the alternate is black. Also, the team improves its logo.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921011658/https://www.mlb.com/rockies/history/timeline |archive-date=September 21, 2019 }}</ref> The front of the uniform has the word "Rockies" in silver trimmed in black, with letters and numerals in black trimmed in silver. During the Rockies' inaugural season, home uniforms lacked names on the back, but names were added for the following season. In 2000, numerals were added to the chest.

The Rockies' road uniform is grey with purple piping. The front of the uniform originally featured the team name in silver trimmed in purple but was changed the next season to purple with white trim. Letters and numerals are in purple with white trim. In 2000, piping was replaced with pinstripes, "Colorado" was emblazoned in front, chest numerals were placed, and black trim was added to the letters. Prior to the 2012 season, the Rockies brought back the purple piping on their road uniforms, but kept the other elements of their 2000 uniform change.

The Rockies originally wore an alternate black uniform during their inaugural 1993 season, but for only a few games. The uniform featured the team name in silver with purple trim, and letters and numerals in purple with white trim. In the 2005 season, the Rockies started wearing black sleeveless alternate uniforms, featuring "Colorado" letters and numerals in silver with purple and white trim. The uniforms also included black undershirts, and for a few games in 2005, purple undershirts. The Rockies retired the black sleeveless uniform in 2022, replacing it with the "City Connect" uniform (see below).

From 2002 to 2011, the Rockies wore alternate versions of their pinstriped white uniform, featuring the interlocking "CR" on the left chest and numerals on the right chest. This design featured sleeves until 2004, when they went with a vest design with black undershirts.

In addition to the black sleeveless alternate uniform, the Rockies also wear a purple alternate uniform, which they first unveiled in the 2000 season. The design featured "Colorado" in silver with black and white trim, and letters and numerals in black with white trim. At the start of the 2012 season, the Rockies introduced "Purple Mondays" in which the team wears its purple uniform every Monday game day, though the team continued to wear them on other days of the week.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Rockies Introduce Purple Mondays Campaign During 'Year of the Fan'|url=https://www.mlb.com/rockies/news/rockies-introduce-purple-mondays-campaign-during-year-of-the-fan/c-28024750|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Rockies.com|date=April 6, 2012|access-date=May 28, 2022}}</ref>

Prior to 2019, the Rockies always wore their white pinstriped pants regardless of what uniform top they wore during home games. However, the Rockies have since added alternate white non-pinstriped pants to pair with either their black or purple alternate uniforms at home, as neither uniform contained pinstripes.

The Rockies currently wear an all-black cap with "CR" in purple trimmed in silver and a purple-brimmed variation as an alternate. The team previously wore an all-purple cap with "CR" in black trimmed in silver, and in the 2018 season, caps with the "CR" in silver to commemorate the team's 25th anniversary.

In 2022, the Rockies were one of seven additional teams to don [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]]'s "City Connect" uniforms. The set is predominantly green and white with printed mountain range motifs adorning the chest. The lettering was taken from the [[Vehicle registration plates of Colorado|official Colorado license plates]]. The right sleeve has a yellow patch featuring the shortened nickname "ROX", the "5280" sign representing the altitude of Denver, two black diamonds representing Double Diamond skiing, and the exact longitude and latitude of Coors Field. The left sleeve has the interlocking "CR" in white with green trim, and purple piping was added to represent purple seats at Coors Field. Caps are green with a white panel, featuring a "CO" patch with various Colorado-inspired symbols, including colors from the [[Flag of Colorado|state flag]] and mountain ranges. In 2023, the Rockies tweaked their "City Connect" uniform, pairing it with white pants on day games and green pants on night games. Their first "City Connect" uniform was worn until 2024.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rockies City Connect uniforms a nod to iconic Colorado plates|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/rockies-city-connect-uniforms-unveiled|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|work=Colorado Rockies|date=May 27, 2022|access-date=May 27, 2022}}</ref>

The Rockies' second "City Connect" uniform features a split between light blue and purple, paying homage to the transition between day and night over the Rocky Mountains. The jersey features bluebird skies and purple mountain majesty as the inspirations behind the color palette. Accents all over the uniform, cap, and branding use the red, yellow, and blue of the Colorado state flag. The Denver city flag is also featured on the lining inside the hat. It is the first pullover City Connect jersey.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-12 |title=Colorado Rockies Reveal New 'Sunrise to Sunset' City Connect Uniforms |url=https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/news/colorado-rockies-reveal-new-sunrise-to-sunset-nike-city-connect-uniforms-to-replace-green-and-white-license-plate-look-01jrnf2q4gna |access-date=2025-04-12|website=Fastball On SI |language=en-US}}</ref>

The Rockies developed an on-and-off rivalry with the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]], often attributed to both teams being the newest in the division.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2007/10/08/rockies-diamondbacks-rivalry-on-deck/|title=Rockies-Diamondbacks rivalry On Deck}}</ref> Colorado had joined the NL West in 1993, while the Diamondbacks are the newest team in the league; founded in 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/19439-who-should-colorado-sports-fans-call-a-rival|title=Who Should Colorado Sports Fans Call a Rival?|website=[[Bleacher Report]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23405609|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201023037/https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23405609|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 1, 2021|title=Rockies-Diamondbacks have the looks of Long Term Rivals to come|website=[[NBC News]] }}</ref> The two teams have met twice in the postseason; notably during the [[2007 National League Championship Series]], which saw the Rockies enter the postseason as a wild card, and went on to upset the division champion Diamondbacks in a sweep en route to the franchise's lone [[2007 World Series|World Series appearance]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eastvalleytribune.com/sports/2007-nlcs-just-start-of-d-backs-rockies-rivalry/article_d72844bb-9966-5dff-a2b5-b4886dd0fb6c.html|title=2007 NLCS just start of D-Backs-Rockies rivalry?}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://denvergazette.com/sports/colorado-rockies/rockies-rattled-by-diamondbacks-fall-prey-to-arizona-bats-as-senzatela-exits-early/article_17c9c37f-22d2-5cc7-804d-a8d0d43cde2e.html|title=Rockies rattled by Diamondbacks, fall prey to Arizona bats}}</ref> The two teams met again in the [[2017 National League Wild Card Game]], which Arizona won.

The Rockies also have clashed in divisional matchups with the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] and [[San Francisco Giants]] particularly as both teams often thwarted the Rockies' postseason ambitions by winning the division.

The Rockies' [[Flagship (radio)|flagship radio station]] is [[KOA (AM)|KOA]] 850AM, with some late-season games broadcast on [[KHOW]] 630 AM due to conflicts with [[Denver Broncos]] games. The Rockies Radio Network is composed of 38 affiliate stations in eight states.

[[Jack Corrigan (sportscaster)|Jack Corrigan]] and [[Jerry Schemmel]] are the radio announcers, serving as a backup TV announcer whenever [[Drew Goodman]] is not available.

In January 2020, long-time KOA radio announcer Jerry Schemmel was let go from his role for budgetary reasons from KOA's parent company. He returned in 2022, replacing Mike Rice, who reportedly refused the [[COVID-19]] vaccine.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jerry Schemmel returns to Rockies' KOA radio team|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2022/04/08/jerry-schemmel-rockies-koa-radio-return/|publisher=The Denver Post|access-date=April 20, 2022}}</ref>
