Description
Colorado Rockies is an American club of professional baseball players. It was founded in 1993 by Richard and Charles Monfort and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, USA.
A group of owners representing Denver led by John Antonucci and Michael Monus received a franchise in 1991. Because it is close to the Rocky Mountains, the team was then named the Rocky Mountains. A year later, they left their main activity due to financial scandals.
The team began playing as an expansion team for the 1993 season. They first earned NL (National League) pennant after winning 14 or their final 15 games in the regular season securing a Wild Card entry.
In 1993, the team presented a new logo design. It was made of a dark blue peak with a white baseball ball flying. Over the city on a black background in silver letters was the inscription "Colorado" the word "Rockies" underlined by a black outline below it.
