A few years back, Chris Berman, et al, were covering the Home Run Derby. They commented on every swing of each and every batter. When it was Cargo's turn, they did an in-booth interview, very rarely cutting back to him, making one or two off-hand comments, as if this was an irritant. They did not do this with any other batter.

Right or wrong, I've always felt the lack of respect for the Rockies was due to Coors Field. It doesn't matter what their home or away win record shows, the dye has been cast in people's minds.
