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.
