For the 1993 MLB season, the city of Denver received a MLB team that would be named the Colorado Rockies. They played their first game on April 5, 1993 against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. They would face the Mets in a two game series and they would be swept by the Mets. In fact, the Rockies only scored a combined one run in the two games.
However, after that two game series, they would come to Denver to play the franchise’s first home game at Mile High Stadium against the now-defunct Montreal Expos.
For the Expos, their manager Felipe Alou started Kent Bottenfield (who would be traded to the Rockies later in the season) against the Rockies.
