The Colorado Rockies entered the 2007 season as a team that was hoping that they’d be able to improve on their 2006 season, in which they went 76-86, which was a nine-game improvement on their 2005 campaign.
Through the first two months of the season, they had improved but still not to a playoff level as they entered the month of June with a record of 25-29.
One of the players that played for the Rockies during those two months was outfielder Steve Finley. Finley was obviously at the twilight of his career because he turned 42 years old during spring training.
