For a single season, what team has drawn the most fans? It’s an interesting question and the answer will surprise many of you, as it did me. Here’s the list of the top 10:
10. 1996 Colorado Rockies (3,891,014)
The 1996 Rockies finished first in MLB attendance, beating out the Orioles (3,646,950) by almost 4,000 fans per game. Managed by Don Baylor, the Rockies finished 8 games behind the Padres with an 83-79 record. Coming off their first trip to the postseason in ’95, the 1996 Rockies hovered around .500 all year.
