Colorado Rockies: The Inaugural Season

Colorado waited for years for major league baseball and when it came in 1993, it was magic. Record crowds flocked to Mile High Stadium and the Colorado Rockies served up a great summertime experience. In the midst of that panorama of the Cubs, the Braves, the Dodgers, and the rest of the visiting National League clubs, stars like Andres Galarraga, Dante Bichette and Charlie Hayes began to emerge as the Rockies formed their compentitive personality. It was a uniquely mountain west addition to major league baseball. Chronicled here is an intimate and glorious look at the spectacle of an historic season in the Great American Game -- the Summer of the Rockies, baseball's unique expansion team.
