- Music without obscenities.
- Scripture quotes around the building.
- Chapel services on Sunday.
- Small prayer groups on Tuesday.
- Leadership that often prays together.
The typical week at most local churches?
Maybe. But, it’s also the locker room of the Colorado Rockies Major League Baseball team.
No copies of Playboy or Penthouse are in the clubhouse of baseball’s Colorado Rockies. There’s not even a Maxim. The only reading materials are daily newspapers, sports and car magazines and the Bible. — Bob Nightengale/USA Today/31 May 2006
Considering how much "foolin’ around" goes on in professional sports today (e.g., road trips, Kobe Bryant, strip clubs), I think that having a Christian-based clubhouse is an appealing idea. However, look for secular groups to claim that the Rockies are forcing Christianity on their players. And, should any of the players actually be caught reading a Maxim, the media will force that player to wear a "scarlet H" on their uniform — for hypocrite!

Yet another reason the rockies are my second favorite baseball team.
Other reasons are:
1. can walk to/from lodo(Houston’s main street entertainment/restaurant district on steriods) to park.
2. ball flys like the space shuttle.
3. great weather outside.
4. watching baseball while sun sets over the mountains cannot be beat(section 315,316 are high but have best view).
some places require “corporate images” such as the “ibm blue suit and ties”…
many offices at work, you can not access porn on the internet at work…
many have policies where the email you open or send while at work is the property and can be revealed to the employer you are working for…
other professional and college sports teams require a certain look on travel and in public when not playing a game…
recently the nba prohibited the hip hop counter culter fashion to be worn by its player when on travel…
company culture is a prerogative of the company or employer…
Go Rockies! No wonder they’re having a better season this year.
