Chicago Cubs vs. Colorado Rockies Tickets

Since joining the MLB in 1993, the Colorado Rockies have yet to win any major title, except for the 2007 NL Pennant. The Chicago Cubs on the other hand ended the longest droughts in baseball history after winning the 2016 World Series, defeating the Cleveland Guardians (at that time, "the Indians") 8-7. For a team that hasn’t been able to dominate any of its opponents so far, the Rockies recently seem to be rallying for some incredible wins over the Cubs.

These recent games have resulted in an internal rivalry between the two teams’ third basemen – Nolan Arenado (Rockies) and Kris Bryant (Cubs). Both players are considered to be the best third basemen in the game today, competing for MVP awards and All-Star Game nods.
