With the recent reshuffle of Minor League Baseball, the Colorado Rockies are now poised to start the next chapter of the rich history belonging to the Spokane Indians.

Indians senior vice president Otto Klein said that the recent offseason represented a “historic change” for Spokane. Not only did the team change affiliates (from the Texas Rangers to Colorado), but it also will now be a full-season member of Class A (High-A) rather than playing a short season as it has since 1983.
