Well, it finally happened.
When manager Don Baylor took the helm of the newborn Colorado Rockies in 1993 he stated with fervent accord, “People say we’re going to lose 100 games. It’s not my competitive spirit to simply accept that.” That statement held true for 30 seasons for the organization until 2023 when the Rockies finally passed the century mark in the loss column.
It’s not something particularly fun to write about, but, since it’s fresh in our minds, we might as well milk as much content as we can because it feels significant. Now that the Rockies have joined the party, each team in the National League West has had a 100-loss season in their respective histories and it got me thinking about the details of that feat for each club in the division.
