They lost 28 of their first 46 games, but following the hiring of interim manager Jim Tracy, the Rockies came back to win their third Wild Card title, and second in three years. The Rockies had a chance to win the division on the final series of the season needing to win all three games against the Dodgers to do so, but lost the last two after winning the first game to lose out on the division title.2009 Colorado Rockies Schedule, Box Scores and Splits - Baseball-Reference.com https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/COL/2009-schedule-scores.shtml https://web.archive.org/web/20090605081529/http://www.baseball-reference.com:80/teams/COL/2009-schedule-scores.shtml 2026-10-12 2009-06-05 The team drew 2,665,080 fans for the season, their highest total since 2002.
