New season.

Same old story.

And it is a tale the Colorado Rockies love to relive - the seemingly magical aura Coors Field has had for them since the park opened in 1995.

``I was not wondering, but I wanted to see if there was any magic when we stepped on the field (Monday),'' Rockies manager Don Baylor said.

There was.

And it wasn't just the explosive offense that carried the Rockies to a 13-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in their 1997 home opener, Colorado's fifth win in a row since opening the season with two losses in Cincinnati.
