"Let me root, root, root for the home team, if they don't win it's a shame." I know it's easy to pick on the Rockies, heck, they have finished either 4th or 5th in the NL West for the last five seasons.

Fourth or fifth place doesn't seem too bad, you say, but with five teams in the division it's a little like getting a participation trophy. Regardless we live in Northern Colorado and have Major League Baseball an hour or less away! How exciting!

    The Rooftop

    You sit a mile high and get to enjoy baseball in the sun, in a bar type atmosphere. You can socialize while watching the game, but not fear that you'll take a bat or ball to the face.
