Colorado Rockies: Which Team is Their Biggest Rival?

Rival #2: The Los Angeles Dodgers

Last season, we teamed up with our counterparts at DodgersWay.com to write an article on each site on why Trevor Story or Corey Seager was better than the other one. I took Story’s side on their site and they wrote about Seager on Rox Pile. Of course, we know what happened after the story appeared with Story’s injury and Seager’s kudos.

It was funny to hear the response from both Dodgers and Rockies fans to the article. Both sides couldn’t believe we were talking about “that other team” on our sites.

It’s a rivalry at shortstop that will last for some time it seems. It’s also indicative of the rivalry between the two teams that has been there for some time. After all, the Rockies and Dodgers have two of the biggest brawls that have happened in Colorado history. Hey, even the Rockies Twitter account had some fun at LA’s expense recently.

Chavez Ravine versus Coors Field. The beaches versus the mountains. Vin Scully versus … OK, we’ll give LA that one.

When LA comes to town, Dodger fans flood Coors Field and make it seem like Dodger Stadium East. I once overheard one Rockies fan say, “I can’t stand that shade of blue.” For a lot of Colorado fans, that sums it up right there. Those feelings could get even more heated this season if the Rockies contend for the division and a playoff spot.
