April 5, 1993 was the day the Rockies played their first game; they played against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. The team’s first home game at Mile High Stadium and their very first win in franchise history came 4 days later with 11 – 4 defeat over the Montreal Expos. This win will live in the minds of Colorado Rockies tickets holders forever, because it occurred in the bottom of the first inning when Eric young the 2nd baseman of the Rockies hit a leadoff home run. There were more than 80,000 Colorado Rockies tickets holding fans – the largest crowd to see a single regular season MLB game.

They finished at 53 – 64 and ended up in the last place in the National League West in the strike – shortened season. Colorado Rockies tickets were still in pretty hot demand.

In the mid 1990’s, several team hitters gained a notorious reputation for their exploits at the plate.
