In the tradition of previous World Series championship books from Sports Publishing, Colorado Rockies: 2007 World Series Champions takes readers through the Rockies' unexpected run to the title. Filled with quality color photography throughout, the book highlights many moments of glory from the regular season, including the Rockies' June sweep of the mighty New York Yankees at Coors Field through their amazing run of 14 wins in their last 15 games to clinch a Wild Card berth. There are lengthy sections on the playoff sweeps of the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks, in addition to the World Series. Profile sections help readers get to know key Rockies such as outfielder Matt Holliday, first baseman Todd Helton, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and starting pitcher Jeff Francis.
