Rockies' religion


The Colorado Rockies baseball team have gone public saying that they choose players based on them being Christian.
"We're not going to hide it. We're not going to deny it. This is who we are."
CEO Monfort: "I don't want to offend anyone, but I think character-wise we're stronger than anyone in baseball. Christians, and what they've endured, are some of the strongest people in baseball."

The Rockies only have 2 Black starting players.

This all fits right in with Major League Baseball's new "Faith Days".
