Order by the year each player joined the Colorado Rockies. You place all 52 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Colorado Rockies players make up this deck, ordered by the year each joined the club. You begin with one player on the line and his year showing. Each card you draw offers a name and a position like left fielder or shortstop, and you pick a gap for it. Land it right and you see the year; get it wrong and he still moves to his real place, costing you one of three lives.
Colorado arrived as an expansion team, and the early cards include the sluggers who made hitting at altitude famous. The middle of the deck is the most crowded part. Starting pitchers are the largest group, fitting for a club that has always hunted for arms that can handle Denver. Players who came back for a second stint count from their first, and that trips people up.
