On Thursday, I got to witness something that I can’t imagine I will get to as a Rockies fan: a championship parade ending in a rally at Civic Center Park. It’s a glorious celebration with thousands of your fellow fans to relive the highlights and cheer for the players to honor the organization’s amazing work and dedication. It’s a special feeling.
Purple Row’s Renee Dechert wrote a great piece earlier this week in light of the Avs championship about how Rockies fans deserve better, but the organization’s failures from the owner down through the front office, centered around the lacking analytics and inability to make smart moves, will prevent the Rockies from ever completing a five-year turnaround from worst to best like the Colorado Avalanche.
