Rockies Sweep World Series Monday, October 29th , 2001 With a 7-6 win over the Seattle Mariners at Coors Field today, the Colorado Rockies wrapped up their 1st title in team history. The Rockies left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Colorado manager Ben Thompson. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Colorado celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order. "I hope they have a big celebration," Seattle manager Tyler Jorgensen said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it." View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
