1993 Colorado Rockies season

March 2026 November 2013 Colorado Rockies 1993 National League West Mile High Stadium Denver, Colorado 67–95 (.414) 6th Jerry McMorris Bob Gebhard Don Baylor KWGN-TV(Duane Kuiper, Charlie Jones) KOA (AM)(Wayne Hagin, Jeff Kingery)KCUV(Francisco Gomez) The 1993 Colorado Rockies season was the inaugural season for the expansion team in Major League Baseball (MLB) located in Denver, Colorado, which were established as a member of the National League (NL), competing in the NL West division, and based at Mile High Stadium. The first manager named for the Rockies was Don Baylor. First baseman Andrés Galarraga represented the Rockies at the MLB All-Star Game, held at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Colorado finished with a record of 67–95, in sixth place and 37 games behind the NL West division-champion and NL pennant-winning Atlanta Braves, ahead of only the San Diego Padres. At Mile High Stadium, better known as the home of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), the Rockies sold 4,483,350 tickets to their home games, setting the Major League record for attendance, which still stands 2023 as of the 2023 season. Galarraga concluded the season winning the NL batting title with a .370 batting average, also leading the major leagues. Shortstop Vinny Castilla was the last player from the Rockies' inaugural season to retire, playing his last game at the end of 2006.https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/castivi02.shtml Vinny Castilla stats Offseason November 9, 1992: Neifi Pérez was signed as an amateur free agent by the Colorado Rockies.https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/perezne01.shtml Neifi Perez Stats November 16, 1992: Andrés Galarraga was signed as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies.https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/galaran01.shtml Andres Galarraga Stats November 17, 1992: Dante Bichette was traded by the Milwaukee Brewers to the Colorado Rockies for Kevin Reimer.Dante Bichette Statistics - Baseball-Reference.com December 7, 1992: Bruce Ruffin was signed as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies.https://www.baseball-reference.com/r/ruffibr01.shtml Bruce Ruffin Stats December 7, 1992: Bryn Smith was signed as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies.Bryn Smith Statistics - Baseball-Reference.com Draft picks The following players were selected in the 1992 Major League Baseball draft.https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?query_type=franch_year&team_ID=COL&year_ID=1992&draft_type=junreg 1992 Colorado Rockies Picks in the MLB June Amateur Draft John Burke was drafted by the Rockies in the first round.
