The Colorado Rockies were once the toast of the Rocky Mountain region. Box office records were shattered with nearly 4.5 million fans strolling through the gates of Mile High Stadium during the franchise?s inaugural season of 1993. Premiere free agents such as Walt Weiss and 1997 NL MVP Larry Walker were signed to join an already potent lineup of Andres Galarraga and Dante Bichette en route to leading the Rockies to the playoffs faster then any expansion team in MLB history. The Blake Street Bombers bashed balls out of Coors Field at a record pace. Those were the days, and those days are long gone.
