Rocktober: The Greatest Month in Colorado Rockies History 

No Matt Holliday jokes today

This video was sad but beautiful, which I guess is fitting for a team like the Rockies.

If Tulo wasn't hurt a lot he would be in the hall of fame

Rockies fans are some of the best in baseball. You guys deserve better.....

Bro this intro is 🔥🔥🔥 great video as always, keep up the great work!

Rockies fan from Taiwan. So emotional to watch this video, especially the 2007 run, the year my son was born in November..

easily my favorite video of yours!

As a Red Sox fan. I gotta hand it to them. They were amazing. Go Red Sox.

This video was really well done. Great job.

I was born in 2007 I wish I got to see them then

I see people getting sentimental about this team and how they miss them, well um they way I found this video is. I was watching an episode of the the Simpsons and in the intro Bart was writing on the chalkboard " There is no such thing as "rocktober" I was like, yep that definitely exist so I searched it up, clicked the first video and here I am

Here in 2024 for Helton Hall of Fame induction.

I swear if the Rockies tried they would have a passionate fan base. The whole state got into it in Rocktober.

I’m saying this right now, this is your best video. I had goosebumps the entire time. I have no attachment to the Rockies but this was incredible.

I remember this. I was 12 years old. My dad took me out of school during the last week of the regular season so we could go watch the Rockies play. That was the only time my dad ever did anything like that, it was truly magical watching that last week live. Game 163 is still, to this day, the greatest baseball game I've ever seen. I screamed myself hoarse, and when Holliday scored the game winning run I just remember everybody jumping around, screaming, hugging each other, I still remember my dad and I, and some dude I didn't know all hugging each other and jumping up and down screaming, everybody high fiving each other, pure pandemonium.

why was this so emotional im a dodgers fan

"Among this list, there is only 1 team that has never..." Mariners fans: oh god dammit "... finished a season in first place in their division." Mariners fans: wait what Rockies fan: :((((((

After watching the full video, thank you for showing the best part of our history. People don’t realize how amazing this is until they really see, and you’re helping to show that. You’re awesome!

Honorable mention HAS to go to the Milwaukee Brewers who could have easily laid down to the Padres. They instead came back to beat them to force the Rockies/Padres to have the same record.

Utree with the 1993 Oilers and now sportstorm on the Rockies you guys are spoiling us....

Please do something like this for the 2019 Nationals. This video was beautiful.

We (denver citizens) tried to raise enough money to buy the team this last year. Didn't make nearly enough. 2007 was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in baseball. What a fantastically made video!!!

The only good thing we have... Rocktober

I was there at game 163 against San Diego. One of the most electric atmosphere's I have EVER been apart of in person. I get goosebumps just thinking about it

I've givin this team my all every year and get nothing in return. It hurts but they're my team. Go Rockies 💜😔

Love my Rox, but it's a low stakes way to be disappointed. They've never had good ownership that cared about winning and knowing that pitching will always be a problem really sets low expectations every year.

You forgot to mention that the Seattle mariners are the only team to have never made it to the world series among those teams... Pain Yeah I'm a long suffering mariners fan, at least the rockies made it to the world series, hopefully things turn around for them they're not looking good right now, They're pretty good at developing talent though.

There’s just something about seeing the jam packed stadiums of small market teams and towns winning in the playoffs that gives me chills

I'll never forget that run in 2007. How excited I was as a little kid to hear my team, the Rockies, were going to the World Series. It's a shame they didn't do it back then. But one of these days the Rockies will do it again. That's the beauty of baseball. You can be all but out and then suddenly a team rattles off wins left and right, sweeping their way to a World Series.

As a Rockies fan I needed this. Thank you for this phenomenal video!

Poor rockes fans and I love the last dance theme you did

Thank you for this video. It brings a tear to my eyes. Go Rockies.

im pretty sure the marlins also have never won their division, they were a wild card in 97 and 03

Red Sox fan here. What an incredible season that was for the Rockies, just unfortunately ended by the better team but not taking anything way from the magical ride that was Rocktober 2007.

I remember this in early high school growing up in Colorado Springs. Even before their run, I'd listen to every game on the radio. I knew everything about every player, even the bench guys who I would regularly see at AAA Sky Sox games. I loved how home grown that team was. No one gave them the light of day, but that team had so much fight in them. It was so just sooo inspiring. That period brought me so much joy, it's really hard to put into words.

I hate being a Rockies fan. Some of the most entertaining baseball you’ll ever watch, beautiful stadium, some amazing players, but we never win.

To win 21 of 22 games to go from well out of the playoff picture to the National League pennant was truly amazing and I don't think it'll ever happen again. Rockies fans definitely deserve a consistent winner and I know October 2007 is immortalized forever in franchise history.

This whole video just makes me want to cry it's so good. And this is coming from a Braves fan. I guess on some level I can relate to the pain and anguish that their franchise and fans have endured, but man I wish they had won the WS that year.

As a Rockies fan this will always be the highlight of our team since 93. The Blake street bombers were fun but even losing the World Series the run to get there 22 of 23 and sweeping both NL rounds will forever be untouchable to Rockies fans. Even a World Series win won’t erase how special it was

By far the best edited video you’ve ever put out, keep up the amazing work.

I’m born and raised in Denver. Been going to Rockies games since I was a baby. My mom still has my Rockies onesie somewhere. I was 9 when all of this happened. I was at the double header against the Dodgers. I got on the big screen during the first game, and got upgraded to the first base line for the second game. Helton was my hero growing up and watching him hit that home run was something else. I was at game 162. I remember when they posted the final score on the scoreboard in right field from the Brewers v Padres game and the whole stadium lit up. I was supposed to go to one of the game 5s in Denver against the Phillies or the Diamondbacks, I don’t remember which one. We had the tickets and everything but obviously that game never happened lol. Thank you for this little trip down memory lane. Go Rockies 💜🖤

Rockies fan from NC here!! Always love watching these videos its tough being a rockies nowadays our season is usually very very rough but i think us fans cling to rocktober as a glimmer of hope...probably wont happen anytime soon but im always hoping for another rocktober. Go rocks til the day i die!!

As a Rockies fan deep in the sorrows of what's almost guaranteed to be a disaster of a season, thank you for this. A pleasant reminder of brief but better times. Doubtful we'll be that close again any time soon, but as this video shows, who knows?

I'm a big rockies fan, I really needed this. Thank you for the awesome video

One day Mariner fans…maybe. Keep on believing!

The only reason the Rockies didn’t win the 07 season was because the were caught waiting until the A.L. Championship was over

I remember talking with my friend in high school at the beginning of this run and doing the math. We figured we could lose one game and still make the playoffs and then watched them do that. Such a magical two months.

Matt Holliday still hasn’t touched home plate

My Grandmother was the biggest Rockies fan. I use to call her after every game. She just passed away last week. I think it was her nudging Todd Helton into the hall of fame. I will always think of her when I watch the Rockies.

To me, this is one of the more forgettable World Series attendees. Maybe it’s because I was around 3 when they made the World Series, or because they were one of the three teams to lose to the Red Sox in the World Series, but it’s like everytime I think about the 2007 World Series, all I can think about is just the Red Sox winning it. Idk I just feel like their STORY, sorry pun intended, just hasn’t really been told much. Also, I feel like The Rockies going to the World Series is just ONE OF the biggest examples of how baseball can be manipulative, unpredictable, and unprecedented. Don’t forget, 2019 with the two Spring Training fieldmates. One was 1931 and the other was just about to be on the verge of becoming an imposter

I don't blame the Rockies for not having a championship, it's weird in Denver. Whenever I go there, even though it looks the same as the lower elevations, my body still somehow knows I'm up higher and it doesn't like it. I'm not talking about the thinner air either, I adapted to that quite quickly as a smoker, its like a constant semi-vertigo.

You should also do one about the Denver nuggets in the bubble 19-20. First team to ever come back 3-1 twice in a playoff run

As Red Sox fan, i can say that while the Rockies might have gotten swept but it wasn't an anti-climatic World Series by any means, With the exception of game 1, All the World Series games were tough games. 2 and 4 were 1 run affairs and Game 3 The Rockies came back late in the game to make the score 6-5 after trailing 6-0. Honestly i was on the edge of my seat for the final 3 games. The Rockies played respectably throughout the series.

The World Series is the summit, but it’s easy to forget just what it takes to win a pennant in Major League Baseball. Much less sweep the entire post season run on your way to the World Series.

Great video man! I am a Rockies fan and has been a fan since 2007. Matt Holliday to this day is still my favorite player. I remember getting a Holliday T-shirt shortly after the 07 WS. I’ve lived in Colorado all my life and would never trade it for anything in the world. I’ll say this, the Rockies ownership is beyond terrible and the Monforts, NEED to go...like now. I remember watching the Rockies in 08 and 09 and just remembering how good our team really was (Helton, Tulo, Cargo, Fowler, Atkins, Barmes). Those seasons were epic and exciting for Rockies fans. In 2017, when Nolan hit that historic walk off cycle, you could feel something was going to happen that year. For the first time since 2010, I felt that the team had a great chance to make rocktober. Both 17 and 18 were great, fun seasons. Once we signed that stupid Arenado 8-year contract and dropping DJ and Otto, the Rockies were getting worse and worse. I thought 2019 was going to be the year we were finally going to win the division because we had one of the most scariest lineups in baseball. But we went 71-91. Monfort and bridich thought we didn’t need to fix anything from the previous season. They didn’t care about the team or fans, all they cared and care right now, is the money and revenue. Ok Monfort, Coors is a great ballpark to watch games and I always LOVE going to Denver to watch my hometown Rox, but can you please do your actual freaking job?! Plz! Instead of investing your time and effort into Coors and the experience, investing in your team and players is not a bad idea. I know we can win a World Series, just not with clowns like Monfort and bridich. Go Rox.

Sorry, rockies. We had to truly see if our Bambino Curse was broken.

And then they were shut down by that Juggernaut team in Boston. They just ran into an immovable object.

Can you please do a video of how the 2021 braves season. That whole season was an emotional Rollercoaster that as a braves fan I was not ready for. Imagine hearing 3-1 for an entire year and finally get revenge on the same team that eliminated you the season prior

Colorado is an interesting spot for sports; we've had plenty of talent in every major professional sport but it doesn't always pay off (Rockies, Nuggets) like it has for others (Broncos, Avalanche) a title for the Nuggets or Rockies would be phenomenal. We have a passionate, unique fan base here and a one of a kind environment given the atmosphere/altitude-other cities that go without a title for decades would probably tell you the same thing: the waiting sucks, but when they actually win it's an unreal experience! Go Avs, Broncos, Rockies, and Nuggets! Will always support the home team! -through the good, and bad times. (Edit): Nugg's just won the chip-one more team to go! Let's go Rocks!! Edit: Nuggets 2023 NBA Champs!!! We just need to revive the rockies now, lets go boys-bring back the magic!

From a Seattle Mariners fan, thank you for this video. So well done. Hope the Rockies win a World Series someday.

Trevor Story and Charlie clips deserve better.

I live in small town Colorado and remember rocktober like it was yesterday I was 17 at the time and was driving around with my girlfriend listening to game 4 of the nlcs on the radio, and when we won I rushed us to my house to put a broom in the flag stand on the front porch, hard to believe how long ago that was already

The Marlins have never won the division either in the NL east..they won their 2 titles by going in as a WC team.

Love how you did this video, as a Rockies fan, Rocktober is something else!

Ah Rocktober. One of the greatest underdog runs I've ever seen. Shame the magic ran out at the worst time. Was pulling for them to pull it off, and then the Series was just...nothin. No excitement.

Man I've rewatched this a few times and i still get emotional EVERY time. Great video man

I hate this team especially for how it treats its fans

17:07 bro i just keep watching the bat fly 😭😂

Love the intro

I've lived in Colorado my entire life, 32 years. Been a huge baseball fan the entire time, diehard Rockies fan. They do have one of the best fanbases - it's too bad the ownership really has no incentive to win. Coors Field is in such a prime spot of Denver, with droves of people moving to Colorado monthly. They could lose 162 games and people would still go the games - not for baseball, for other things.

it’s tough being a rockies fan man

You should do something like this for all 30 teams

As a 16 year old fan of the Rockies, I've never really had anything to be excited about with this team. This video had me more invested in this team than any season I can remember watching. Not sure if that says a lot about how well made this video is, or how bad the Rockies have been. Oh well, I just hope they win a world series in my lifetime.

Ngl I didn’t even know the Rockies were a real team until a couple months ago. Never heard about ‘em when I was a kid.

Tbh I remember this team, they had a long stretch off and it killed their momentum

Don't understand why and how the Rockies can be this bad every year lol I'm a Sox fan and I loved it when we whooped their ass in 2007

been a rockies fan since inaugural day as a 4 year old. not gonna lie, that todd helton picture still makes me tear up every time i see it

One of the best baseball videos I've watched on youtube - great job! I'd probably put it in my top 3 along with the battle for Seattle from Jon Bois's Mariners series and the A Rod vid from Baseball Doesn't Exist

Neagle is pronounced Nay-gull. Great video my guy!

Extraordinary video. Your best work to date by far, better even than the TV special about Rocktober that the Rox themselves produced a few years ago.

0 first play finishes is shocking

Fantastic video, I found it quite emotional. Love learning about these early 2000's teams.

I knew a guy who put a bet on the Rockies to win the World Series that year, and didn’t lay it off when they got to the World Series. I suppose when you get really good odds and get that close, why not just ride it out, but he was looking at a five figure payout on a three figure bet, so there was plenty of room to hedge and still make plenty if they’d won.

Its all about the altitude. They've tried to mitigate this issue and try to build a team to take advantage but it never seemed to work. Its too hard on their pitchers and the Rockies were always a weak road team year after year. You just can't compete when your home field is such an outlier.

The Red Sux ruin everything

I'm a Giants fan but my first ever baseball game was at Coors field and I loved it.

Can you do one about the 2018 brewers?

I had just turned 9 during this run and was infatuated with the team. I got to go to the Game 163 tiebreaker but my dad and I left after the padres took the lead in the 13th because it was late and we thought it was over. I can still remember the cheers as we walked to the light rail station. Have never left a game before it’s ended since. And although we came up short, Rocktober will always be an all time great CO sports moment

Rockies- Hey here's an idea, let's give away our best player and throw in 50 fkin million dollars to our rival.

FLUKEtober 😂😂😂

2007 was when I really fell in love with baseball and it was because how fun tulo and Matt holiday made baseball to watch. Not even a Rockies fan but everyone loved those two growing up.

This channel has all the best from the late 2000’s

Sportstorm is destined for millions of subscribers. These stories are written so well and original too!

It’s great, but it really sucks being a Rockies fan at the same time. It’s tough, man

This brought me back to watching that Double header with my mom and celebrating like crazy after the second game... Thank You.

Padres fans about to get some PTSD

I hate the term "Rocktober". It implies that the Colorado Rockies are at their best in October or a frequent team playing meaningful games into October -- and that couldn't be further from the truth. This is a team that's made it into the postseason (not counting play-in games) only 4 times in 32 years. This is a team that's finished better than 3rd in its division only 4 times in 32 years. This team doesn't play meaningful games into October. This team pretty much doesn't play meaningful games much past July!

Love the background Techno!

Thank you for showing this moment, I was four years old when this happened and never realized how incredible this was, I went to games after this and people always gave praise to tulowitzki and Helton and I never realized what those guys did for the franchise but no I know how beautiful it was, I was literally on the verge of tears from this moment

Mariners will win a World Series before us.
