Over the course of 29 days in September through the middle of October, the Rockies won 21 games and lost just once, shocking the baseball world en route to the World Series. The Red Sox swept the Rockies in the World Series, but that did not tarnish the players' fond memories. Although the Rockies had talented players, led by team veteran Todd Helton, MVP candidate Matt Holliday, and rookie of the year candidate Troy Tulowitzki, what stood out about the team was their chemistry and togetherness. “Our winning streak, in a lot of ways, was the end product of our team chemistry,” starting pitcher Josh Fogg said during the ten-year anniversary in 2017. “I mean, we’d have an off day on the road and 18 or 20 guys would go out to dinner together. That just doesn’t happen. Baseball is kind of a cutthroat game. And some people will root against their teammates so they can get themselves ahead in the game. I don’t think that played out at all in 2007. Everyone knew their job and knew their role. They were comfortable in it.” The Rockies run in 2007 was nicknamed “Rocktober” — a play off the Rockies and October.
