I believe that one day, Colorado can have a major league team again.
Now we need a new owner who cares about the fans by putting a winning team in Coors Field.
BRING BACK ROCKTOBER #SELLTHETEAM
Rocktober. Shush about selling the team. U don't know who they would sell it to or if the Rockies would still be around in Colorado.
@@Gdub33 The Rockies will never leave Colorado, and they will never win until they sell the team.
@@Gdub33 What about they guy who bought the basketball and hockey teams here and then...won championships with both teams 🤷♂
@@joejatcko they guy who moved the St Louis rams to LA where the fan base doesn't even know they exist? Nope. No short term success for losing our teams. Both the AVS and nuggets are already in jeopardy. We need homegrown heroes my friend. You'll see in 10 years when the AVS move and the nuggets move after our teams become atrocious because our owner just wants quick results and doesn't care about the future. Time to educate.
Fluketober 😂😂😂
I'm so happy to have lived through the only world series appearance ever for the Rockies. Truly magic, will never happen again.
I'm a Dodgers fan. But whenever I'm in town, I visit Coors Field to attend a Rockies game. They have one of the best stadiums. They also have extremely loyal and dedicated fans. They love their Rockies through hard times, lots and lots of hard times. I wish the Rockies the best. I was there in 1993. I returned again other times like when the All-Star Game came to town. I was there during the 2007 run. I came other times. Hopefully, someday the Rockies make it to the top. And go Broncos! My favorite football team!

I remember going to watch the Rockies when they played at Mile High. I was like 12. We had tickets in the upper deck and my grandma was so afraid of the height, they let us move to lower seats😂
the issue with this organization is that no pitchers can succeed at that altitude. pitches have less movement, less break and balls carry way further. so it will always be extremely difficult to field a winning product at Coors Field.
The wear on pitchers is also accelerated when they play for the Rockies or it at least seems that way compared to other teams.
Gooooo Rockies, you guys will always be champions!!
I love the Rockies. I don't care how long it takes for them to win a World Series. I'm a patient person. Go Rockies.
We might never win one with the owners. #SELLTHETEAM
Rock on brother. When we win I will see you downtown. I'll be the guy hanging from the light pole.
2019 the Rockies were 71-91 and averaged 37,000 fans a game. Great fans, great stadium and lousy owner.
As long as people keep coming to the games, the owner has no incentive to improve the team.
@@josh-rz3uqthats the problem with owners. They own a team to try and take all the profits from it instead of wanting to establish a winning franchise. Damn shame.
Happy 30th Rockies!!! We love you always and forever💜🖤🤍
We love everyone,
except the Monforts ❤️❤️ worst ownership in baseball .
Go ROCKS! but owners need to sell it to the Kroenke's!!
Holy cow, I cannot believe it's already been 30 years that is insane
Love the Rockies but god damn the owners are scummy
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
I know him
This shouldn't have made me feel the way it did. It was so well done, and it made me feel the shared pride as a lifelong Rockies fan to have been able to share in the memories of the team's history- just as so many members of the Rockies community that have also loved the team as much as I have, on the heels of all those who did so much to make the team a reality. What a triumph for all the special moments that have followed, and to have been able to share in them. But seeing the more recent clips of Blackmon, Cargo, Arenado was so bittersweet, knowing the state of the franchise and how the team's leadership squandered what should have been the next step forward, and instead has put the team so far backwards. Monfort talking about how he just kind of lucked into owning the Rockies, while it's his stranglehold on control being the biggest barrier to the fanbase sharing in successes that never transpired if things were run differently. There is so much optimism throughout this documentary in major league baseball coming to Denver, and so much unrealized hope. All I can relate it to is the feeling of heartbreak, growing feelings for a person and developing hopes for the future, and then when the relationship has fallen apart (thanks Bridich) you're unsure how to feel about all the memories you had with them because you were hoping for more. The Rockies community deserves so much more.
I couldn't have said it any better. The Rockies were my passion. But watching Monfort drive our stars away and not grow with baseball hurts deeply. I loved these guys! I will always root for these guys but sadly not as my team. My childhood Red Sox will always be my team. It's bittersweet that Trevor Story is now a Red Sox. He should have wore Rockies purple his whole career....
@@traci635he's the best we have. I'm scared if he sells the team.
Great video, thanks for bring back so many memories. Just wish there where more.
Can't recall how many games I went to....... But 3 standout. The night Jeff Cirillo hit 3 homers and hit the top of the centerfield fence for a ground rule double almost hitting 4 out. Pedro Martinez playing for the Dodgers at the time, taking a no hitter into the 8th inning before Helton got a hit off him to break up the no-no. And almost getting hit by a Mike Lowell homerun. I heard the crack of the bat, was tracking the ball then lost it. Ball hit the seat right next to me putting a huge dent in it. The first game at Coors when Bichette hit the homer to win the game. Burks taking Eckersley deep to, I can't recall, either tie the game or win it for Colorado. Blake Street Bombers were fun to watch. If only Colorado had the pitching to go along with it.... Top 5 as a club hitting the ball, almost dead to last a as club pitching. Don Baylor was our best manager as far as I'm concerned. It all started to fall about after the Blake Street Bombers were all traded. Then Walker was traded, EY traded, Holliday traded, Gonzales traded, Story allowed to become a FA, and the trade of Arenado for who? who? & who? It won't get better till the club is sold to different owners.
Such an epic stadium, awesome
I got to go to one of first season games which was against Philadelphia at Mile High. The Rockies lost something like 20 to 1. Although it was such a blowout, you could tell Denver fans were going to be some of the most devoted. Good times!
I live in Denver and it’s great that we have a baseball team but the current state of the franchise is an absolute train wreck. Change in ownership is needed
I never knew where Dinger came from and wondered why we had a dinosaur for a mascot, It makes sense now! I miss when the Rockies would come down here to play the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, those were always fun games to go to!
I was lucky enough to be at the home opener in 93 vs the Expos and the Coors Field opener in 95 vs the Mets… this is a great video, forgot how exciting it all was in the beginning.. I still never gave up my lifelong love for the Dodgers 😂
I love Denver! Colorado is such a beautiful state❤
Let’s go Rockies!
As a Giants fan, it's pretty cool to learn some of Denver's baseball history. good stuff.
Happy birthday 🎂 to The Colorado Rockies. 😀👍⚾️
I thought we were still triple a! The more you know! #SELLTHETEAM
Shall we make a list of all those great trades and giveaways?I was at game ,163 2007 against the padres.i have been to hundreds of baseball games but never in my life have I heard such tremendous noise.todd helton said''now that's what baseball is supposed to be like' where did those great teams go?
Worst thing that happened to this team was the goddamn Monforts. The bottom line is their only concern, they don't care about the fans or the product in the field. I'll never watch another game until Monfort is gone.
Great ballpark
While I applaud their recent winning after an 8-28 start the fact is this team will have to win in spite of the Monforts' best efforts to make the Rockies as relevant as the Yellow Pages anymore. They're already hampered by Coors; can't hit on the road or pitch effectively anywhere for very long. They'll win 2-1 then 5-3 then lose 19-0 to the same team (good or bad) anytime and anywhere.
Rockies fans deserve so much better…#selltheteam
It's a damn shame that the major league team left Colorado in the 2010s. I really wish they would bring them back.
Absolutely Fantastic. Great memories, was a terrific period in Denver. Thank you Kyke Dyer for this film. Thank you Colorado Rockies and everyone who played any part in making this happen!
I was a volunteer on the campaign to build the stadium. My job was to call voters on election day and remind them to vote. My first contact was an elderly lady who was thankful that I reminded her about the election. This video brought back a lot of memories.
#SellTheTeam
Sydney'Oz Solid Salute🙌🏼🏔️⚾💐💎🌉🗺️🕊️
When do you think they'll go back to the major leagues?
It's 2024 and I'm stilll waiting for a major league baseball team in Denver. #SELLTHETEAM Monfarts!!
Go Colorado Rockies 💜💜💜
Todd helton will forever have my heart at first base.
SELL THE TEAM!!!
Woman as principal owner FIRST happened in 1961 with Joan Whitney Payson with Mets.
Love the rockies, but #selltheteam
This video proves that we as Rockies fans are the best fans in baseball. Go Rockies!
Favorite player: Dante Bichette. Favorite memory: getting to see Tulos Cycle against the Cubs in person.
For fans who enjoyed this documentary, I think you would also like the story of how baseball was saved in Seattle. Ironically it happened around the same time as the Rockies first season in Coors. Mariners and Rockies actually clinched their franchise’s first playoff births together… but anyone, this is the story of how baseball was forever saved in Seattle. Enjoy!

Didn’t know Mr. Feeney was once Governor of Colorado.
The photo of Bears Stadium at the 4:00 mark is a reversed image. The hill should be to the west of the south stands and the Valley Highway (I 25) should be to the east.
They're Grrreat!
Now we are going Major League just like the Movies! Our Owners are so bad!
Sell the team so the rockies can actually become major league caliber
Everyone wanted to see a baseball hit on the moon.
Love the Rockies very indifferent when it comes to ownership. I sometimes wish they would care a little bit more about the franchise instead of trying to get people to Coors Field. Coors Field is a beautiful ballpark maybe the best I've been to Petco Park twice and that's a gem. But people will always go to Coors Field the weather here is great in the summertime and you always get good crowds on the weekends sometimes on weekday nights. I have a partial season ticket plan with the Rockies and I will always support them and maybe one day we will win the World Series. I think we just need a GM who thinks a bit outside the box focus on bullpen draft better keep the lineup Mc Mahon and Tovar are studs.
Love the Rockies, hate the owners.
Like how can you trade the face of your franchise for 3 nobodies
#Selltheteam
They got Hickenpooper in there
Hi
of course everybody had a buzz
ITS COLORADO!!!!!
SELL THE TEAM TO THE KROENKE'S!!!!!!!!!!
I was so excited when Denver got the Rockies. First and only team in the Rocky mountain region. But by May 2017 I was done with them as my favorite team due to the inept Monfort ownership group. They haven't kept our stars and they don't invest in pitching. I will always root for the Rockies, but not as my favorites.
I was 10 when this team came here and will always love them, but these idiots who own the team are stupid enough to name their documentary this, somehow not knowing that "going Major League" means deliberately trying to lose as many games as possible, which is essentially what they've been trying to do for the last decade+. Beyond incompetent.
You need a dome to be taken seriously and eliminate the altitude asterisk in your stat books, and that wont happen with such a beautiful scenery in that stadium, its destined to fail over and over again
Man all the comments the people are crying
32:28 Monfart, sell the
team
sell the team
Sell the team
To the Kroenke's!!!!!
Monfort definitely needs to sell to someone who knows how to run a baseball team
Shut up! DO NOT SELL THE TEAM. Don't listen to this pud.
Your mouth should be washed out with soap.
I truly hope ur not a denverite. If you are. LEAVE CALIFORNIA CATER!
Unfortunately Colorado really hasn’t been Major League since 2007. Monforts need to sell
Funny cause right now they play like their a high a affiliate of the A’s
Note to MLB.... FORCE MONFARTS TO SELL THE TEAM
Should of been Buffalo 😢
"We had a very depressed economy with a crumbling economy, so we decided to tax the citizens who didn't have money to live on, so that billionaires could have nice sports facilities!"
Brilliant.
23:36 George W. Bush
They’ll be in Utah half way through this century
.......
or just open your ears keyboard warrior.
Great stadium great city poor leadership. I'm a Padres fan I don't like the Rockies I consider them a rival they are especially the blown call but Rockies fans deserve so much better
Major League as in like the movie Major League where the ownership intentionally assembled the worst team ever?
Sell the team. People of Colorado deserve better.
When did it go back to minor league? That's a real documentary for you.
Or spend money
Rockies are one of the most trash teams but they still fill up their seats which is wild
mlb에서 가장 돈을 이상하게 쓰는 팀.
Sell the team to someone that cares about winning
Sell your mommas team, selling usually means moving for crap teams
Sell. The. Team.
embarrassing franchise
The most irrelevant franchise in MLB. Either sell the team to someone who actually cares, or remain irrelevant and a complete laughingstock indefinitely. I swear there are a plethora of times where I am fully convinced that the MLB would be better off without this joke weighing it down constantly. Which sucks, because Coors Field is a top 5 venue in the league for me.
Sincerely, someone who really likes the Broncos, Nuggets, Avs, and has nothing but a major disliking for this joke of a franchise
Should of kept the denver bears name…rockies 👎🏽
Major League Losers.
Sell The Team!
Its a pretty bad time to release something like this. I mean, we have zero faith in you. Youve traded away all of our talent for higher bidder. So are we a team like the athletics, or are we a team with legit stars that are built by us? You trade the best players away and the best no longer want to stay in this day and age. And the stars come to die because the culture is so backwards now.
Did Tullwitzki not make enough money behind the scenes for you? I really doubt that. You were simply breaking even with a player like him, but YOU WANT PROFIT. and I then you expect us to still bleed purple and black even after you get rid of our stars.
I miss our old management when we were a team hot on the ass of the braves and playing them in the playoffs. I miss the miracle team we had in 07. I miss the old Rockies.
Do not move the team. Sell them to a new owner who wants to come actually put some money spit and grease into our team. I dont think this owner group understands colorado very much or colorado sports. Kronke understands them much better than you do. Jk. I dont wanr them to move to california.
I remember opening day. I was about 6 years old and was able to come to watch. Best moment of my life. We love our sports here in denver but we dont like getting dicked around sir!
I'd argue we're the most mediocre franchise in baseball. Sell the team.
And then what?
@@MarkHinchey1 Get new perspectives, people in charge. Not pay 50 mil to another team to take our best player of all time and then give guys like Bryant and Desmond lucrative contracts to essentially suck balls.
Your what they call a fairweather fan then my dude. If you love a team you stand behind them. Just my opinion.
Sell the team
