In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Skyler and Dustin reunite to discuss the number 5 in Rockies history. From the early days of the 2000s, the number was synonymous with the power-hitting outfielders thanks to Matt Holliday. From the moment he took over during his rookie season, he put on a power-hitting display in Colorado, playing a key role in their 2007 World Series run where he finished 2nd in the NL MVP voting and did in fact touch home plate in game 163. However, his rise to stardom made it unlikely for him to stay in Colorado and after the 2008 season the Rockies sent him to Oakland, receiving a talented young outfielder named Carlos Gonzalez. It took a hot minute for CarGo to get settled in, but he quickly established himself as an exciting and electric talent in and spent the next decade in purple. With the sweetest swing in baseball, this side of Ken Griffey Jr. CarGo dazzled fans with his elite defense, cannon of an arm, and incredible power. Unfortunately, his fall from grace at the tail end of his career is a sad tell to exam, but it doesn't diminish his incredible talent and place in Rockies history. Both were excellent talents in Colorado and a major reason why the number 5 is still out of rotation for the team.
