Purple Row After Dark: If you could put any Colorado baseball player from history on the 2026 Rockies, who would it be?

Let’s get historical tonight!

This was a discussion we had in our SB Nation managers Slack channel today, so I’d like to pose the question to you. The Rockies are turning 33 this year, so they don’t have a long, storied history like other franchises such as the Yankees or the Cubs. But they do still have two Hall of Famers and plenty of history to choose from.

So, if you could put any Colorado baseball player from history on the 2026 Rockies, who would it be?
