The Colorado Rockies’ class A affiliate in the South Atlantic League continues to be the classic (and awesomely-logoed) Asheville Tourists.
More From Minors
In a time when the Colorado Rockies have made some changes in half of their minor league affiliates (Boise, New Britain, and Albuquerque) and have some relatively new affiliates elsewhere (Grand Junction), the one consistent piece down on the farm has been in Asheville. The Asheville Tourists have been with the Rockies since 1994 — the very first year they had a Class A team.
And after spending more than 20 seasons in the South Atlantic League, the Rox and Tourists have had some success; the club won the South Atlantic League title in 2014.
