What happened: Troy Renck responded to Clint Hurdle's account of the Colorado Rockies' September 2007 run, calling it the most memorable story he has covered. Hurdle said Colorado won 13 of its final 14 regular-season games, forced Game 163 and won it on a play at the plate.
Why it matters: The run remains part of the Rockies' modern identity because it turned a buried September position into a winner-take-all finish. Its staying power comes from the combination of a late standings charge, a one-game playoff and a decisive play at home plate.
By the numbers: Colorado won 13 of its final 14 regular-season games in September 2007 before forcing Game 163. The Rockies won Game 163 on a play at the plate.
What to watch: Watch for more accounts from figures tied to that stretch as the 2007 run continues to resurface in baseball conversations.
