On June 10, 1991, Major League Baseball announced that Denver and Miami would be awarded expansion franchises.
On Thursday, exactly 30 years later, the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins will play the finale of their three-game series. The Marlins posted a 6-2 win in the opener on Tuesday, while the Rockies recorded a 4-3 victory the following night.
