Dear Charlie, Dick, Keli and Clint:
On behalf of the people of Colorado, I extend my heart-felt congratulations to the entire Colorado Rockies organization - the players, their families, the coaches, front office and staff - on your unforgettable season.
Your September and October accomplishments will go down in the annals of baseball lore as one of the most impressive feats in sports history. By winning the National League Championship and making it to the World Series, you showed this city, state and country what true grit, determination and a belief in yourself can accomplish.
You gave new meaning to the notion of teamwork, and we all can learn a lesson or two about patience, the value of crafting a long-term plan to cultivate homegrown talent, and sticking to the game plan when it would be easier to head down a different path. You galvanized the state and thrilled the nation.
Once again, congratulations on your awe-inspiring accomplishments.
Sincerely,
Bill Ritter, Jr.
Governor
