This Day in Rockies History April 5, 1993

History has a start and this April 5, 1993 is the official start of the History of the Colorado Rockies.

In New York's Shea Stadium, the Rockies took the field for the first time for a Regular Season game.  Eric Young led off the game, and David Nied was the starter.  The Rockies only got 4 hits but no runs and lost to the Mets 3-0.   They would score their first run on Dante Bichette's HR (first in Rockies History) in their 2nd game but only get one other hit, before finally arriving in Denver for their Home opener.
