Crafting together the all-time 25-man roster for the Colorado Rockies was no easy task. There were certainly times I thought about pretending it was September and bumping it up to a 40-man roster … but ultimately decided to comb through the annals and record books to try to select just the 25 players we would put together on an all-time Colorado roster.

Again, the process certainly wasn’t easy and there will be plenty of discussion about who’s included on the roster … and who isn’t.

Much of the work done for this article was put together by James Keating, who has gone through the history books time and time again to put together our list of the five greatest Rockies at every position. If you haven’t checked these articles out, you absolutely should. You can find the links below…
