Hello, my name is Phil Duncan, and like my counterpart who’s writing about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, I have one of the easiest jobs in the Baseball Historians network. I’ll be covering the Rockies for the network and not only have the Rockies only been around for fourteen years, but the teams playoff record is pretty slim. 1995 was the last (and only) time the Rockies have made the postseason and the team hasn’t finished above fourth place since 1997. Remember the Don Baylor years? I have fond memories of those days. Sigh.
So, in addition to covering the current day Rockies, I’ll be trying to come up with ways to present to you the team’s rich history. I’ll probably start with season by season retrospectives, but we’ll see what the old brain comes with as far as ideas. I might do a Todd Helton retro since it looks like his days with the Rockies are numbered.
Jeff Francis is my favorite Rockie so he’ll get a little bit of extra attention. The left hander put together a decent season last year, as far pitchers in Colorado can expect to have.
So I hope you’ll stop by on occasion to check out the site. I’m looking forward to writing about my favorite team and I hope you make the Register a regular stop, especially if your a Rockies’ fan.
