Colorado Rockies TicketsSince 1993, the Colorado Rockies have gone thru 4 different managers, played in two different stadiums, appeared in 1 World Series, and hosted the All Star game once. Troy Tulowitzki was able to complete an unassisted triple play in 2007, one of the hardest feats in baseball.4/5/93 was the Rockies first regular season game, and they played the New York Mets in Shea Stadium. Dwight Gooden tossed a three-hit shutout on their debut. In their inaugural season, the Rockies had 65 wins, the most by a NL expansion team. Andres Galarraga also won the batting title that year, another first for a player on an expansion team. In that first year, 4,483,350 fans went thru the turnstiles at Mile High Stadium. In 1995, the Rockies manager Don Baylor won Manager of the Year and Dante Bichette finished 2nd in MVP voting. In 96, Ellis Burks and Dante Bichette became only the second pair of teammates to ever go 30HR and 30SB in a season. 1997 brought an MVP to Larry Walker as he batted .366, 130 runs and 49 HR’s. 1998 brought the All Star game to Coors Field. Ken Griffey Jr somehow beat Jim Thome in the Home Run Derby, white Mark McGwire hit some 510 foot moon shots for a respectable finish. The game wound up being the highest scoring all star game in history with a final of 13-8. The next few years would prove to be building years, as the Colorado Rockies wouldn’t have a worthwhile season until 2007. They were probably the hottest team in all of baseball rolling into the play-off’s, having won 13 of 14 games. They rolled thru the division series and NLCS, and met The Boston Red Sox in the World Series. They hit a brick wall in the Series, and were swept in 4 straight games. Boston put a stop to their winning ways, and ended the hottest team in baseball’s winning streak.
