The Blake Street Bombers, led by that season’s MVP and now Hall of Fame inductee, Larry Walker and his 49 home runs, Andres Galarraga (41), Vinny Castilla (40), Ellis Burks (32), and Dante Bichette (26) made up one of the most feared lineups in Major League Baseball.
After hitting a franchise second-best 224 home runs last season, the Rockies have a chance of creating a new version of the Blake Street Bombers and do something that the original couldn’t.
Not only could they break the franchise home run record and match them with four players hitting at least 30 home runs, they could one-up them and have five players accomplish that feat.
