Craig Waibel (2000)
Pablo Mastroeni (2002-2013)
Waibel had a killer year in 2000 to take this award. :D Seriously though, there's a reason the Rapids were going to retire #25 for Pablo this Saturday, and will do it eventually when things get closer to normal. Mastroeni is the team leader, by a lot, in Appearances, Starts, Minutes, Fouls Committed, Fouls suffered, Yellow Cards, and Red Cards. Drew Moor would have to start every game that was planned for this season plus four games next season to pass him. He'd then need to appear in another seven games next season to pass him in appearances.
Pablo was also a six-time All-Star, earned 63 of his 65 caps, including multiple World Cup appearances, and captained the team to the 2010 MLS Cup. He is one of two players to wear green, black & blue, and burgundy for the Rapids (Beckerman is the other, if you count Fraser wearing burgundy as coach now that would be three). Mastroeni is still the face of this team and will be for years to come.
