Todd Helton is not only a Hall of Famer after a 17-season career with the Rockies. He also is the standard bearer for players drafted and developed by the club. He was selected in 1995, and the rest is, thanks to the 2024 election, Cooperstown history. How have the Rockies

DENVER -- Coors Field is the best place in the history of the sport for a hitter to accomplish a cycle -- a single, double, triple and home run in the same game. But, at the same time, what has happened to the cycle at Coors? Coors has hosted 18

DENVER -- The door to the Baseball Hall of Fame is open to the Rockies, thanks to the elections of Larry Walker in 2021 and Todd Helton in 2024. Will another Rockies player stroll through the opening anytime soon? Walker played 10 of his 17 seasons with the Rockies. Helton

Here are the longest homers at Coors Field since the advent of Statcast in 2015:

DENVER -- Anyone steeped in Rockies history knows that the Rockies won the first home game in their existence -- April 9, 1993, at Mile High Stadium. And it doesn't take long to recount that the first home at-bat ended in an Eric Young home run off Expos starter Kent

DENVER -- The best one-season pitching performance in Rockies history, right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez’s 2010, was a stroke of magic that he never repeated. But don’t call it a fluke. Jiménez was a highly coveted signee out of the Dominican Republic. The only blip in his Minor League career was an

DENVER -- Listen closely and the cheers from Oct. 1, 2007, still ring at Coors Field. When the subject of Matt Holliday’s slide into home plate to send the Rockies to the postseason is broached, you don’t have to strain your ears to hear the Padres’ faithful claiming he never

DENVER -- It took a decades-long climb to bring Major League baseball to a city and a time zone skipped by America’s image makers. Consider the mountain of obstacles overcome, and "Colorado Rockies" was the only appropriate name for a franchise that was established on July 5, 1991, two seasons

DENVER -- Plenty of players have put up big stats in a Rockies uniform and become synonymous with their jersey numbers, while others have had more modest tenures with the organization. MLB.com is looking back at the best players to wear each number in franchise history since the 1993 inaugural

DENVER -- Larry Walker was voted into the Hall of Fame in 2020, and Rockies fans are crossing their fingers that Todd Helton will join him in the coming years. It stands to reason that this pair dominates the list of best offensive seasons in Rockies history. Of the top

DENVER -- The Rockies found quick success -- a postseason appearance in 1995, their third season in existence -- largely on the expansion draft and free agency. The best years since then have been driven by their Minor League system. Trades, frankly, have been more a backstory than a driving

DENVER -- Players from all around the diamond have had big seasons with the Rockies -- and having Coors Field as the home park has created some monster seasons. Let's take an around-the-horn look at the most productive seasons since the franchise began play in 1993. And just imagine all

DENVER -- Rockies star Todd Helton's No. 17 made it to the Coors Field rafters first, at the end of his 17-year career. Then Larry Walker's No. 33 finally went up in 2021, after the outfielder who wore it -- the Rockies first true superstar -- was inducted to the

Seventeen years after Major League Baseball came to Colorado in 1993, the Rockies saw their first no-hitter thrown, when Ubaldo Jiménez made franchise history in 2010. And despite Germán Márquez firing a valiant one-hit shutout on June 29, 2021, the club is still searching for its second no-hitter -- and

Opening Day in Rockies history has brought many memorable home runs and offensive performances, along with a couple of memorable outings by pitchers whose careers in Purple Pinstripes are often forgotten. Here is a Top 5 list of Rockies Opening Day performances: 1) Rox win wild one in Coors inauguration

DENVER -- The Rockies went to the World Series in 2007. They also came the closest to ending the Dodgers’ hold on the National League West, when they took them to a showdown game for the division title in 2018. But neither was the best regular-season performance in club history.

DENVER -- Todd Helton’s career is the gold standard for the Rockies. He was drafted and developed by the club, was a productive and inspirational figure during good times and a standard bearer when things were tough. And they not only retired his No. 17 at the end of his

DENVER -- The ’96 Rockies rounded the bases at two paces -- at a leisurely trot 221 times, and at breakneck speeds on 201 occasions. That’s right, those Rox became the first team in Major League history to reach 200 in home runs and stolen bases in the same season.

DENVER -- It can begin with a press conference, complete with the purple pinstripes worn over the shirt and tie, a Rockies hat on top and a smile in between. Or it could be the anticipation of prospect hype. But since most major free agents arrive with fanfare, and most

DENVER -- The Mile High City can’t quite be called the home of the National League batting championship, but it’s not out of line to call Denver its favorite vacation home. In the Rockies’ 28 seasons in the Majors, one of their players has won the batting crown 11 times,

DENVER -- In the strange history of Rockies pitching, the team’s only no-hitter doesn’t even qualify as the best single-game performance. Also, three of these games occurred at Coors Field, where stellar pitching is supposed to be close to impossible. Let’s start our list of the Rockies’ top five single-game

DENVER -- Nolan Arenado commemorated the greatest offensive performance in Rockies history with blood and sweat while Coors Field erupted in cheers. And while the famous Father’s Day cycle of 2017 -- when Arenado's walk-off, three-run homer gave the Rockies a come-from-behind, 7-5 victory over the Giants -- tops this
