The Colorado Rockies' 2007 season started off with the team trying to improve on their 2006 record (76-86). They finished with a franchise record of 90 wins in 163 games and earned a playoff berth as the National League Wild Card team. The team's stretch run was among the greatest ever for a Major League Baseball team. Having a record of 76-72 at the start of play on September 16, the Rockies proceeded to win 14 of their final 15 regular season games.〔(2007 Colorado Rockies Schedule and Results ). Baseball-Reference.com. Retrieved October 15, 2014.〕 The stretch culminated with a 9-8, 13-inning victory over the San Diego Padres in a one-game playoff for the wild card berth, a game that is considered to be part of the regular season. The Rockies then swept their first seven playoff games to win the 2007 National League Pennant — the franchise's first-ever pennant. Thus, up the start of the World Series, the Rockies won a total of 21 out of 22 games. The amazing streak then ended, as the Rockies were swept in the 2007 World Series by the Boston Red Sox. The Rockies drew 2,376,250 fans for the season, their highest total since 2002. The average home attendance was 28,978. ==Offseason== *December 5, 2006: LaTroy Hawkins was signed as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies. *December 12, 2006: Jason Jennings was traded by the Colorado Rockies with Miguel Asencio to the Houston Astros for Willy Taveras, Taylor Buchholz and Jason Hirsh. *January 30, 2007: Choo Freeman was released by the Colorado Rockies. *February 18, 2007: Matt Herges was signed as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies. *February 24, 2007: Steve Finley was signed as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 Colorado Rockies season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
