Bill Ritter has made official what Colorado Rockies fans already decided: "Rocktober" has arrived.
It didn't take Ritter long after the Rockies' 9-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday to proclaim October as "Rocktober" in honor of the team's advance to the playoffs. The Rockies wrapped up the National League wild card spot.
The type in the e-mail from the governor's office was purple, the team's color.
Ritter issued a similar proclamation two years ago, when the term "Rocktober" was born on the team's way to its only appearance in the World Series. The Boston Red Sox swept the Rockies in the series.
