The Colorado Rockies entered the season attempting to improve on their 74–88 record from 2008. They lost 28 of their first 46 games, but following the hiring of interim manager Jim Tracy, the Rockies came back to win their third Wild Card title, and second in three years. The Rockies had a chance to win the division on the final series of the season needing to win all three games against the Dodgers to do so, but lost the last two after winning the first game to lose out on the division title.https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/COL/2009-schedule-scores.shtml The team drew 2,665,080 fans for the season, their highest total since 2002. The average home attendance was 32,902 fans. Their 92 regular season wins is currently the most in a single season in Rockies franchise history and their 715 runs allowed is the fewest runs they have allowed in a full season.
