"Bottom line is, people want us to win"
Tracy Ringolsby of the Rocky Mountain News interviews Charlie Monfort, who became the Rockies' managing partner just before Opening Day 2003. Highlights:
The Rockies expect to make a $5-$8 million cash call in 2004, and another in 2005. Monfort's not worried; he says the club was "pretty much underfinanced," but became so popular so fast that no additional cash contributions were needed.
Rockies' season ticket sales are down about 5% from 2003's 17,000-18,000.
The Rockies' disastrous signings of Mike Hampton and Denny Naegle were "a tough pill to swallow, but it was the medicine that got us going in the right direction."
