Revel in the glory. This Rapids team, out of nowhere and with Marco Pappa still hurt is the best squad in MLS. How are they doing it? Not letting the other guys score might have something to do with it.
The last time the Rapids were in first place this far into the season it was June 1, 2008.
George W. Bush was the president. David Beckham was just beginning his second season in Major League Soccer. The Rapids roster included Colin Clark, Mehdi Ballouchy, Mike Petke, and Pablo Mastroeni.
