Enshrining the Rockies as the Unofficial Team of Wide-Open Spaces (NY Times)

The Colorado Rockies may be based in Denver.

But through the magic of radio they are also the home team five hours away - in Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico as well.

For a long time it was not this way, but the late-season surge that put the Rockies into teh World Series for the first time is likely to consolidate such a regional grip - making the Rockies the unofficial team of wide open spaces and strengthening Denver's position as the interior West's professional sports capital.
