There’s been quite a bit of discussion within the card blog-o-sphere that there doesn’t appear to be a bona fide Colorado Rockies collector out there. Like (seemingly) most other people, I neither love nor hate the Rockies…and no, I don’t plan on specifically collecting them either.
I remember when the Rockies and Marlins both joined the big leagues – and I remember being quite excited the first time I pulled a Rockies card and a Marlins card. However, Florida was always closer in proximity to me as compared to Colorado, so when push came to shove I rooted for the fish over the Rockies – at least in the beginning.
At this point, I like the Rockies quite a bit – and definitely more than I like the Marlins. I will always think of the Rockies as the “Mile High” team with lots of homeruns and absolutely no pitching…even if that isn’t necessarily true anymore.
Team pros:
1. Everything I've heard about the state of Colorado is good - but I've never been there.
2. Todd Helton seems like a stand up guy - and he's been a Rockie forever. I appreciate longevity with one team.
Team cons:
1. I'm not a big fan of purple - and the Rockies feature plenty of purple.
2. Humidor.
Overall:
As the first team featured, I can't spoil much about my team rankings - but at #9 the Rockies are the unofficial leaders of the "teams I don't care much about one way or the other". When I constructed my list, I found it interesting that there were plenty of teams that I didn't like, relatively few that I did like, and a surprising number that I didn't have a lot of thoughts about one way or the other.

ReplyDeleteNico: That's probably a pretty good guess!
