Colorado Rockies affiliations
On September 2, 1992, Jerry McMorris welcomed Charlie Monfort and Oren Benton to join him in buying controlling interest in the Rockies.  This came after founding owner Mickey Monus was ensnared in a massive accounting scandal surrounding his Phar-Mor discount drugstores.
Dick Monfort later replaced Benton in the ownership group, and became vice chairman of the Rockies on December 8, 1997. On March 31, 2003, Charlie was named CEO of the Colorado Rockies, succeeding president Keli McGregor who had taken the role from McMorris in 2001.
In 2005, Dick and Charlie Monfort purchased McMorris’ financial interest in the team, becoming the primary owners.  Charlie remained as managing general partner, chairman and CEO until 2011, when he handed both roles to Dick.

Under their tenure, the Rockies have made the playoffs only four times while having just five winning seasons from 2005 to 2023. Their general incompetency is widely recognized by both team and media personnel across the league, and fans have grown weary of their inability to properly promote successful team-running practices within the organization.
