Colorado Rockies dropped the last game in a three-game series against New York Yankees on Coors Field on Sunday.

Rockies have now lost eight of their last 10 matches.

Colorado’s 9-44 record represents the worst win-loss record in MLB. In addition, Rockies’ start of the 2025 season is historically bad. The team had already secured the worst 50-game start in modern Major League history.

While many Rockies fans are probably disappointed with the team’s tough season, a supporter has decided to take litigation.
