We all love sweet nostalgia, which is why I am periodically going to turn back the clock to remember a forgotten Rockie. I’m busting out my old baseball card collection and picking out some of my old friends from different eras of Rockies baseball history.
This week, my focus is on one of my childhood favorites, Neifi Perez.
First, a quick history lesson:
Rockies fans always think David Nied was the first Rockie ever because he was the first pick in the 1992 Expansion Draft. In reality, the organization had already made a number of transactions before the expansion draft took place.
