76 uniform numbers have been worn by Colorado Rockies players in their franchise history.

Recently, we started our series on the best player to wear each uniform for the Colorado Rockies. We started with numbers 0 through 10 and we had a few battles, particularly at #5 (Carlos Gonzalez and Matt Holliday) and #9 (Vinny Castilla and DJ LeMahieu).

Today, we will look at numbers 11-20. There are a few battles but none are at the caliber of those two.

Let’s dive into part two of the series.

Number 11- Brad Hawpe

For the last decade, number 11 has been worn by the Rockies bench coach (first, Tom Runnells and currently, Mike Redmond). It was also worn by Jim Leyland in his lone season as Rockies manager in 1999 and Toby Harrah while he was Buddy Bell‘s bench coach in the early 2000s.

Brad Hawpe was the last player to wear it for the Rockies and also, he is one of only four players to wear it so this was an easy one to decide.

Hawpe played seven seasons with the Rockies and in 816 games, he hit .280/.374/.477 with an OPS+ of 113. He was an All-Star in 2009 and he placed in NL MVP voting in both 2007 and 2009, when the Rockies made the playoffs.
