With each passing day, the Colorado Rockies inch closer to starting the 2017 campaign. It’s a season that many expect to see improvement and possibly even a run at the postseason. FanGraphs doesn’t exactly see it that way, but it’s still winter and hope springs eternal for what could be at 20th and Blake this season.

More from Rox Pile

There will be plenty of people streaming through the gates at Coors Field this season, watching the Rockies on TV and taking part in the banter as part of Rockies Twitter. There will be good times … and not-so-good times this season. One thing is for sure … there will always be plenty to talk about when the Rockies take the field.

And that’s where the fans really come in. More than just watching the game in person or in their homes, Colorado Rockies fans add flavor to the season from the outside looking in. Many of them will think they’re a better manager than Bud Black and question why in the world Gerardo Parra is playing so much. Of course, we may be wondering that same question … but that’s for a whole other article.

So what kind of fans will you see this season? We’ve broken them down into five groups, starting with the worst all the way to what many consider to be the worst. Of course, we have the best scattered in there as well.

Take a look and see which category might best describe you … or someone you know.
