Seattle SuperSonics

Injured Reserve. Coaches. Bench. Manager. Starters. This can be attributed to the conditions of Coors Field, whose thin air makes hitting much easier. Team originally owned by Sam Schulman (1967 - 83), Barry Ackerley (1983 - 2001), and now Howard Schultz the Chairman of Starbucks Coffee (2001 - present). Interestingly, the Rockies, since their inception, have always tended to have a strong hitting squad and home record, which are offset by a weak bullpen and road record.

Division champions in 1979, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 2005. That year, they made their first and, to date, only post-season appearance as the National League Wild Card team where they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Atlanta Braves. Won NBA championship in 1979. In 1995, the Rockies moved in to a new stadium, Coors Field, where they have played their home games ever since. First playoff appearance, 1975. The team set attendance records in its days back at Mile High Stadium, and was the first team in the history of Major League Baseball to record over 4,000,000 fans in annual attendance. Began play in October, 1967. The Colorado Rockies joined the National League as an expansion franchise in 1993, along with the Florida Marlins.
