OK, so the Rockies didn’t have much team history. How about individual achievements?
Plenty. But all of it on the offensive side, due to, and enhancing, Colorado’s reputation as a thin-air hitters’ haven. In their 15 seasons, the Rockies have had six batting champs (Andres Galarraga in 1993, Larry Walker in 1998-99 and 2001, Helton in 2000, and Holliday in 2007), three home-run kings (Dante Bichette in 1995, Galarraga in 1996 and Walker in 1997) and seven RBI champs (Bichette in 1995, Galarraga in 1996-97, Helton in 2000, Preston Wilson in 2003, Vinny Castilla in 2004 and Holliday in 2007).
