We continue with our list of the Top 50 Colorado Rockies of All-Time today with Numbers 10-1.

Welcome back for the final time, to my top-50 All-Time Colorado Rockies list. This, like my top-10 best lineups, will be highly subjective as I reiterate this is my list.

I only looked at each player’s Rockies career, so even though some players may have had good careers before arriving/after leaving LoDo, only those that excelled while in purple and black were considered. For example, although Bret Saberhagen had a great career, his stint in purple and black was very short so as a result, he will not be making an appearance on this list.

This is the fifth and final installment as we count down to the best Colorado Rockie of all-time. All stats are per Baseball-Reference.com. I leaned heavily on Rockies career WAR, dWAR, and OPS+/ERA+. The biggest factor, though, was personal eye-test to differentiate those clustered close by numbers.

I truly enjoyed delving into the best of the team I hold closest to my heart.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did putting it together. As always, please comment below or hit me up on any of my social media accounts linked in the article to let me know what you think of my list and let me know what your list looks like.
