Major League Baseball A Mile High: The First Quarter Century of the Colorado Rockies

Major League Baseball A Mile High: The First Quarter Century of the Colorado Rockies

provides a look at the first 25 years (1993 through 2017) of the major-league baseball team in

Denver, the Colorado Rockies. Included are essays on the birth of the Rockies and biographies

of 24 of the most important players, managers, and club executives as selected by the Rocky

Mountain chapter of SABR. We added "ballpark bios" of the two fields on the Rockies have

called home: Mile High Stadium and Coors Field. In addition, 18 memorable and historic games

are recapped here.

Including a foreword by beat writer Thomas Harding, who has covered the Rockies since the

year 2000, and illustrated with over 30 photos from the archives of the Colorado Rockies and

the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Major League Baseball A Mile High is the perfect addition to

any Rocky Mountain baseball fan's personal library.

This book is a production of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). Over three

dozen SABR members contributed as authors, editors, fact-checkers, and pitched in with ideas

to shape the book.
