Colorado Rockies

Operating in the National League West Division since their introduction to Major League Baseball in 1993, the Colorado Rockies are one of the youngest franchises to compete at the pro level. Due to its high altitude, the Rockies home ballpark, Coors Field, has earned a reputation for being a hitter’s paradise, meaning fans are often treated to higher scoring games. If you are wondering how to catch the Colorado Rockies live on TV today, you’ve come to the right place.

The Rockies first home was Mile High Stadium, which was originally a baseball stadium built for the Denver Bears. Colorado played just two seasons there before moving to their home at Coors Field.

As mentioned, the Rockies made the postseason in their third season, 1995, after finishing one-game out of first place in the NL West. Colorado has never won a division championship, but has won an MLB league championship series.

The Rockies made the playoffs in 2007 after finishing second again in the NL West. They beat Philadelphia in the division series and Arizona for the pennant. Colorado was swept by Boston in the 2007 World Series. Colorado has made the playoffs five times. In each case, the Rockies advanced by being an MLB wild card.

Larry Walker played 10 of his 19 MLB seasons with Colorado. He is the only member of the Baseball Hall of Fame wearing a Rockies cap on his plaque.

Walker became the first player in over six decades to hit .360 or more in three consecutive seasons (1997-99). He won seven Gold Gloves and was the MLB batting champion three times (1998, 1999, 2001).

Todd Helton was drafted by Colorado with the eighth overall pick in 1995. He would go on to play his entire 17-year career with the Rockies. He was selected to the All-Star game five straight times from 2000 through 2004. Helton also won three Gold Gloves and four Silver Slugger Awards in that same time span.
