The Rockies compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the National League ( NL ) West division. The team 's home venue is Coors Field, located in the Lower Downtown area of Denver. The Rockies won their only National League championship in 2007, after having won 14 of their final 15 games in order to secure a Wild Card position. In the World Series they were swept by the American League ( AL ) champion Boston Red Sox in four games. They are one of two MLB franchises to have never won a division title ( the other team is the Miami Marlins ).

( June 2017 ) Main article : History of the Colorado Rockies See also : 1993 Major League Baseball expansion Denver had long been a hotbed of Denver Bears / Zephyrs Minor League Baseball and many in the area desired a Major League team. Following the Pittsburgh drug trials, an unsuccessful attempt was made to purchase the Pittsburgh Pirates and relocate them. However, in 1991, as part of Major League Baseball 's two - team expansion ( along with the Florida ( now Miami ) Marlins ), an ownership group representing Denver led by John Antonucci and Michael I. Monus was granted a franchise ; they took the name `` Rockies '' due to Denver 's proximity to the Rocky Mountains, which is reflected in their logo. Monus and Antonucci were forced to drop out in 1992 after Monus ' reputation was ruined by an accounting scandal. Trucking magnate Jerry McMorris stepped in at the 11th hour to save the franchise, allowing the team to begin play in 1993. The Rockies shared Mile High Stadium ( which had originally been built for the Bears ) with the National Football League ( NFL ) 's Denver Broncos for their first two seasons while Coors Field was constructed. It was completed for the 1995 Major League Baseball season. In 1993, they started play in the Western division of the National League. Since that date, the Rockies have reached the Major League Baseball postseason three times, each time as the National League wild card team. Twice ( 1995 and 2009 ) they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. In 2007, the Rockies advanced to the World Series, only to be swept by the Boston Red Sox. The Rockies have played their home games at Coors Field since 1995. Their newest Spring training home, Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona, opened in March 2011 and is shared with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
