The Rockies, even being a newer franchise, have had a number of players that have gone on to have storied careers. They have had a number of great shortstops like Troy Tulowitzki, Trevor Story, and even flashing it back to Neifi Perez and Walt Weiss. They have had some of the best bats ever, that now sit enshrined in Cooperstown in Todd Helton and Larry Walker. They have had some of the most consistent players that have proven it over many years.

Today we are going to look at some of the best seasons in the Rockies franchise history, but with a twist. When you think of the best single seasons you think about Larry Walker's 1997 MVP season, or Todd Helton getting robbed of an MVP award in his 2000 season.

I said there is a twist, and that is the fact that we are going to look at the best one-hit wonders in Rockies franchise history. The run of "Linsanity", Brady Anderson's crazy 1996 season, or Mark Firdrych's debut season; these are all one-hit wonders that made their name in one season before drifting off into irrelevance again. Today we are going to look at four of the biggest one-hit wonders in the Rockies franchise history.
