In the early 1990s, the state of Colorado received a Major League Baseball team of its own. The Rockies have been well-known since the team’s inception for boasting high-powered offenses and high-scoring affairs thanks in large part to the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. But, have any of those lineups been able to power the Rockies to any World Series titles? Here’s an answer to that question.

How many World Series have the Colorado Rockies won?

The Colorado Rockies franchise has never won any World Series titles since the team was founded in 1993.

Despite entering MLB in the same year as the Miami Marlins — who have won two since 1997 — Colorado has yet to experience the ultimate baseball high in the Rocky Mountains.

Colorado did achieve some early success in franchise history. As a matter of fact, the Rockies made it to the postseason in the franchise’s third season.

The 1995 Rockies featured a powerful lineup led by Larry Walker, Dante Bichette, Vinny Castilla, and Andres Galarraga. Colorado won 77 games in a shortened 1995 season to clinch a playoff birth.

But, Colorado lost in the NLDS to the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves.

The Rockies’ next playoff birth came twelve years later in 2007, a season that would turn into the team’s first World Series appearance. Matt Holliday, Todd Helton, and Troy Tulowitzki would lead Colorado back into the MLB Playoffs, and Colorado defeated the Philadelphia Phillies (NLDS) and Arizona Diamondbacks (NLCS) to make it to the Fall Classic.

The joy was short-lived, however, as the Rockies were swept by the Boston Red Sox in the 2007 World Series. That proved to be the Rockies’ only Fall Classic appearance as of 2024.

Colorado returned to the MLB Playoffs in 2009, 2017, and 2018. The Rockies failed to make it past the NLDS in each of the squad’s next three appearances.
