MLB tickets to see the Rockies play have been available since the team’s first year in the league, 1993. Although this team has not been around for very long, the Rockies have sure had some successful seasons. In 2007 the Rockies got the Wild Card spot in the NL playoff bracket and then went all the way to the World Series. Even though the Rockies didn’t end up winning the Series that year, it will still be remembered as one of the best seasons in Rockies history. The Rockies play in the NL West, so some of their most fiercely fought series matchups will be against their divisional opponents- the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres.
Rockies batters like Brad Hawpe and Garrett Atkins tend to get a lot of the credit when the Rockies are doing well, but it’s important to note that Rockies pitchers added a lot to the team in 2008. Aaron Cook won 16 games, and Ubaldo Jimenez ended the season with 172 strikeouts. If the Rockies jump out to a hot start, this team could look really dangerous in the NL playoff race.
