The Rockies “Ryan” World Record Attempt

(Rockies fans & Ryans celebrating a Ryan McMahon Homerun)

In an attempt to break a world record for “Most People with the Same First Name at a Sporting Event”, the Colorado Rockies in collaboration with Ryan Meetup hosted an event for people with the first name Ryan.

Hundreds of Ryans from 31 states and Canada flocked to Coors Field to cheer on Ryan McMahon & Ryan Ritter of the Colorado Rockies. Family and friends of the Ryans joined too with the only rule being “No Bryans allowed“.

The official Ryan count per Ryan Cousins was 481, based on tickets sold to Ryans. But Rockies estimates were higher, in the 700 range. Sadly it wasn't enough to break the record for same-name gatherings. That still apparently belongs to a group of 2,000+ Ivans who assembled in 2017.

What makes this gathering of my fellow Ryans even more magical is the fact that Ryan McMahon and Ryan Ritter both had good games!
