Offseason

Regular season

By Friday, August 12, the Rockies had compiled a 53-64 record through 117 games. They were drawing really well at home, with an attendance of 3,281,511 through 57 home games for an average of 57,570 per game.[6] At that pace, the team would have had a good chance of drawing more than 4.6 million fans in their 81 home games if the season had continued. Offensively, the Rockies had scored 573 runs (4.90 per game) and allowed 638 runs (5.45 per game) prior to the Strike.[7]

The Rockies tied the Chicago White Sox in 1994 for the most triples in the Majors, with 39. Their pitchers, however, hit 49 batters: the most in the Majors[8]
