The Colorado Rockies are one of the latter teams in the Major League Baseball (MLB) as compared to most of their opponents. The team was originally formed in 1993 due to an expansion of the league and joined the National League (NL). While the team has not yet won a World Series, they have managed to acquire a single National League (NL) championship for themselves so far. Along the way they have also picked up rivalries with the Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Angels. Moreover, their nickname “The Blake Street Bombers” was earned because of the high scores that they managed to produce during their home games at the Mile High Stadium and Coors Field, the latter of which has been serving as their home ground since 1995. Lastly, throughout 32 seasons of the team since their formation, they hold a record of 2277-2632 (as of May 2024).
