About Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Denver, Colorado, playing in the National League (NL) West division since their inaugural season in 1993. Founded as an expansion team alongside the Florida Marlins, the Rockies are named after the prominent North American mountain range. The franchise is owned and managed by the Monfort family, with Richard L. Monfort serving as Chairman and CEO, and Charlie Monfort as General Partner.

The team has produced several legendary players, including Todd Helton and Larry Walker, who left a significant impact on the organization's history and performance.
