The Colorado Rockies baseball team is making some interesting entertainment at the end of the season this year, with a 10 game winning streak and only 1 game back from the wild card, and 2 games back from the NL West title. Perhaps just as exciting is ending the season with a home stand against the current division leaders.
Baseball is relative newcomer to Denver (the Rockies came in 1993), but Colorado Springs has had a AAA team (the Sky Sox, now the Rockies Triple A farm club) for a bit longer. After a really strong start, major league baseball had kind of lost some interest here for a while, but with a resurgence like this one, I think Rockies tickets will gain in popularity again. Coors Field is really a great place to watch a game, and only an hour away, it is yet another reason why this is such a great place to live!
