This Day In Rockies History April 7, 1997

In the Rockies Home Opener for 1997, the Rockies returning from a 4-2 opening road trip and pounced on the Cincinnati Reds and Dave Burba 13-2.   The Blake Street Bombers scored 5 runs in both the 1st and 4th innings to put the game out of reach.

This game was also my first game at Coors Field as I flew in that morning to make the game.   The following day I had a Job interview in Denver, and within a month I had moved to Colorado and started working here.    I remember it was a beautiful sunny day in the 50's.  It was also my first MLB game since 1992 and revived my interest in MLB after the strike of 1994-95.
