Being a Rockies fan since they were introduced into the league in 1993, it was not easy supporting them for 14 long years to make a legit run at the World Series. In 2007 the Rockies won 20 of their last 21 games to gain a wild card spot in the N.L league playoffs. I was so proud of the Rocks, after all my support through several terrible seasons, we were finally a force to be reckoned with. With hard hitters like Matt Holliday and Troy Tulowitzki the Rockies were looking like the hottest team in the league, and made it all the way to the World Series only to get swept by the Boston Redsox. I wasn't dissapointed in them they played well and the Redsox were just to overwhelmed with talent. Plus just making the playoffs was such an accomplishment.
But just two years later, the Rockies seem to have given up hope and have traded or let go almost have of that N.L championship team including Matt Holiday it seems like the process has started over. But of coarse I will never lose hope in my Rockies and when I'm 34 or so looking at the team holding that trophy high I'll know I stuck with them all the way.
