The team's stretch run was among the greatest ever for a Major League Baseball
team. Having a record of 76-72 at the start of play on September 16, the Rockies
proceeded to win 14 of their final 15 regular season games. The stretch culminated
with a 9-8, 13-inning victory over the San Diego Padres in a one-game playoff for the
wild card berth, a game that is considered to be part of the regular season.

The Rockies then swept their first seven playoff games to win the 2007 National
League Pennant — the franchise's first-ever pennant. Thus, up the start of the World
Series, the Rockies won a total of 21 out of 22 games. The amazing streak then
ended, as the Rockies were swept in the 2007 World Series by the Boston Red Sox.
The Rockies drew 2,376,250 fans for the season, their highest total since 2002. The
average home attendance was 28,978.

THE STORY OF 2007 NATIONAL LEAGUE
COLORADO ROCKIES
The 2007 National League Championship Series (NLCS), the final round of the 2007
National League playoffs, began on October 11 and ended on October 15. It was a
best-of-seven series, with the West Division champion Arizona Diamondbacks facing
the wild card Colorado Rockies, also from the West Division. The Rockies swept the
series in four games to win their first ever pennant, extending a 17–1 run to 21–1 in the
process. The Rockies won the opportunity to play the American League champion
Boston Red Sox in the 2007 World Series. Colorado's NLCS sweep was only the
second NLCS sweep since the seven-game format was adopted in 1985, with the first
being the Atlanta Braves' sweep in 1995.

COLORADO ROCKIES
The Rockies had swept the Philadelphia Phillies in three games in the NL Division
Series, while the Diamondbacks had swept the Chicago Cubs. The Diamondbacks
had home-field advantage due to winning the division. The series marked the first
time the Rockies ever advanced to the NLCS and the second time for the
Diamondbacks, in the first postseason matchup between the two teams; the
Rockies' only prior postseason appearance was in 1995. It was the first time that
two West Division teams had ever met in the NLCS, and only the second to feature
expansion franchises (the first being 1986).
