First in moos, first in brews … and last in the National League.From 1903 through 1939, the old St. Lous Browns landed in the American League cellar only seven times. But the old rhyme about the Mound City’s old second team — “First in shoes, first in booze and last in the American League” — was catchy as heck, so the tag stuck.A century later, purple is the new brown.From 1999 through 2023, the Rockies have finished last in the National League West eight times, five of those coming since 2012. The “Rockie Way” is a one-way ticket to the blues.There’s no question Colorado CEO Dick Monfort is one of the nation’s leading experts at playing the game. If that game is “Monopoly.”THE ROCKIE WAY: Inside Colorado’s three decades of mediocre baseballHow would I fix what ails the Rox? 1.
