As the calendar prepares to turn away from 2017, now seems like the perfect time to take a look back at five of the best moments the Colorado Rockies provided their fans since last January 1.

With the Rockies returning to the postseason for the first time since 2009, there are absolutely plenty of moments that could be chosen as one of the five best from last season. And some of those moments even happened off the field, like the Rockies boosting their roster with trade deadline acquisitions Pat Neshek and Jonathan Lucroy. How about the young fan that became an Internet sensation after loudly proclaiming his affection for Charlie Blackmon? Maybe it was the moment that DJ LeMahieu and Blackmon made a statement about their teammate Chad Bettis during the All-Star Game?

Those were just some of the moments that we remember from 2017, but the following five are what we believe to be the best of the season. How about you? What do you remember most from the 2017 season and calendar year? Let us know in the comments below!
