Per wiki
In 1985, the team name was changed to the Denver Zephyrs, after the famous passenger train. Barry Larkin was league MVP while with the Zephyrs, as were Greg Vaughn, Jim Olander, and Jim Tatum. ESPN broadcaster Orestes Destrade also played for the Zephyrs. Under the new nickname, the franchise won the American Association in 1987 and took the 1991 pennant. They went on to win the 1991 Triple-A Classic against the International League's Columbus Clippers, 4–1.[2]

I feel like a dick, I had no idea the team was named the zephyrs in Denver. I remember there being a contest to name the team when they came.
