Colorado Rockies [October 2007]

The Colorado Rockies go on an unbelievable streak to make the playoffs.  They sweep the National League Championship Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks and go to the World Series. Thomas Albright had an extra Rockpile for me to see possibly the biggest win in Rockies history.
