Easter is a time of renewal, hope, chocolate, and multi-colored eggs. For baseball fans, Easter coincides with the early goings of a new season in which teams are full of potential and aspirations for October.
In their 28-year history, the Rockies have played on Easter 16 times to a record of 6-10. The games have ranged from classic ‘90s slugfests to nail-biting pitchers duels. So, with the Rockies playing the Dodgers on Easter this year, it felt right to take a brief look into the franchise’s history on the holiday.
Egg-ceptional offense
Easter has seen numerous Rockies lineups through the years and in 16 games on the holiday, the Rockies have compiled a batting line of .261/.323/.424. Through the first 14 games of the shortened 2020 season, they hit a similar .268/.335/.442. So in comparison, the Easter Rockies have seen offensive numbers that could rival the hot 11-3 start from just a year ago.
